Hello everybody it's Elisa here, so today's video is actually the first one of this year
So I'm gonna wish you a happy new year, and I really hope you had a nice holidays and everything
But let's get this year started with another helpful video for your recovery and today's video
I'm gonna talk about the intuitive eating and I'm gonna give you 6 tips on intuitive eating and I will try to explain you
kinda, what is the mindset of somebody who is an intuitive eater for example me
and how I view food, how I approach food and eating
But at the same time, I don't have to consciously think about it
I don't have to analyze my eating, you know like every day, it happens very naturally and automatically
But at the same time when you are still recovering, when you are still on your journey towards intuitive eating
Then these tips will definitely help you
So maybe for this start, I will first explain
what is the intuitive eating and I will try to do it from my own perspective from my own experience and
There is also this famous book about intuitive eating
So if you want to know more you can read that book and also in my book
The last chapter is entirely about intuitive eating so you can check out my book as well
but what is the intuitive eating in my own in my own explanation in my own experience, so
intuitive eating is
Based on listening to your body as a whole
Intuitive eating yes, you listen to your hunger your fullness
You make sure you eat until full and satisfied
But also you take into account your emotions your feelings and also you use some
like common sense and
nutritional knowledge about food as well, so as you can see you don't only listen to your, for example, your taste buds
But you also use some... take into account your feelings your emotions and also use some
nutritional knowledge and make sure you are feeding your body the nutrition it needs as well
But also doing it without the diet mentality
Yeah, and intuitive eating is definitely free from guilt
it's free from rules and restrictions and
intuitive eating is very individual, and it's definitely free from diet mentality, diet mindset and
also intuitive eating is not perfect and
There's no such thing as perfect eating and intuitive eating can be
different each day
It's not perfect, it is flexible and this is what I like about intuitive eating because it's so
sustainable and as I said before it happens so naturally, I don't have to think about it on a day to day basis
Let's get on with the tips. And by the way if I look down from time to time
It's because I have something wrote down, so I won't forget all the tips
I want to share with you. So the first tip is definitely to get rid of
"good and bad foods" mindset and intuitive eating is free from shame and guilt around food
And it also
It doesn't see food being as either like "good or bad". Intuitive eating
doesn't use you know like judgment about food to make the food choices, but rather
intuitive eating... you do it by following your body's cues and trusting your body's signals
And all food is equal, all food is neutral, all food is fully allowed
You can give yourself the unconditional permission to eat and also food doesn't reflect your morality
It doesn't reflect your personality
and it's free from judgment
So the second tip is to eat in the moment and what I mean about that? Very normal part of the diet mindset
is that people either think about what they ate yesterday so what they are allowed to eat today or maybe today
they decide to eat the second piece of chocolate cake then they feel that tomorrow
they have to do something to compensate for it so they never eat in the moment
but actually they think about either the past or future and
This is all about, you know like, the diet type of like planning and trying to compensate
Trying to restrict or trying to have all like rules around food
But you have to really forget all about that and really try to eat in the moment and just ask yourself
What do I feel like eating right now? And then eat this food no matter what you ate your last meal what you ate yesterday
what you gonna eat the next meal what you're gonna eat tomorrow and really focus on eating right now
without any guilt or judgment or overthinking.
And the third tip is to eat what you really want
and this is kind of the giving yourself the
unconditional permission to eat and eating what you want is really part of honoring your body signals
because all of our cravings are there for reason and
For example, if you come from diet past or from eating disorders
It's very normal that the food you crave the most or the food you want to eat the most is normally the food you have
restricted the most and many people who come from dieting if I tell them to eat whatever you want
they will freak out because they feel that if they finally let go of all rules and restrictions
then they only want to eat their fear foods. You know like the food
they have labeled "bad" or "unhealthy" or whatever and this will freak them out
But actually like your body wants to eat those food because you have restricted them not because your body is somehow
addicted or your body is stupid, and it doesn't know what it's doing
but if you feel you have like overwhelming craving for some particular food or to eat it in large amounts
It's because of the restriction past you come from not because your body is not working properly or something
But based on my own experience this period will pass and for example
even I had those things when I craved some foods in big amounts but right now my eating is balanced and
normal, and I don't have any desire to overeat, binge eat or have excessive cravings.
So the fourth one is to really enjoy your food and also maybe if you come from the diet past
Then whenever you have allowed yourself to eat something
maybe you still have done it with some guilt and shame and therefore
maybe you just felt like you have to eat it so fast and in big amounts and maybe you totally forget about
you know like fully enjoying your food
because you can't fully enjoy the food when you eat with guilt and shame and with the diet mentality so
let go of the diet mentality and then actually start to allow yourself also to
enjoy the food and feel good about the eating.
And all intuitive eaters when you learn about intuitive eating or just practice it or you go back to intuitive eating
after years of dieting or eating disorders, then everybody goes through a period of trial and error
And learning what works
specifically for their body and
if you just yesterday stopped
dieting then it's not possible to be fully intuitive eater tomorrow
without having to practice it without going through a process of trial and error you know learning
what works for you, and this is totally normal phase
It will take some time
Try to listen to your body and don't see any "mistakes" as "failures" or something
But just see all of this process as a learning experience
how to be an intuitive eater and just know that you can't make any mistakes and again as I said
It's all about learning what works for you and taking it as a big learning opportunity to become an intuitive eater.
And the last tip is to let go of the perfectionism
and I think to become an intuitive eater
this is very important tip to practice because there is no such thing as perfect eating
perfectionism in eating is part of the diet mindset and
definitely doesn't go with the intuitive eating. What I love about intuitive eating the most is actually that is so flexible
I don't have to feel either "good or bad". I don't feel like I can fail with my eating
I don't ever feel like I'm doing something wrong because
yeah, intuitive eating is not perfect. For example, even normal eaters sometimes overeat
but it doesn't mean that they now have an eating disorder or something and also even normal eaters
sometimes undereat because they have a busy work day or something and this doesn't mean that they are now back to dieting and
restricting. And also normal eaters, they can't eat something
that's... that they fully want right now, and maybe they just have to choose something because they need to be flexible
something that's available for them
It doesn't mean that it's the perfect choice
but they just choose to eat it because it gives them, you know like, energy to go on with their day
So they don't worry about the "perfect fullness", "perfect hunger",
"perfect satisfaction", you know like all of these things with food
but it's very flexible and this is why it's so realistic and so sustainable.
So I really hope you like this video, and if you want to know more about intuitive eating you can buy my book and
