This week we are talking to one of the co-founders of Intuitive Eating, Elyse Resch! Alongside Evelyn Tribole, Elyse developed and wrote the book Intuitive Eating, which has gained popularity for people who have been burned by diets and want to get back in touch with their body's intuition around food. However, this process is more complicated than it sounds. Elyse answers questions from our community and explains many of the nuances of IE for our listeners.

• Intuitive Eating: is it a method for weight loss?
• How does IE work if you don't have reliable hunger and fullness cues?
• Elyse reveals how she'd change up the principles for a future edition of the book
• What is "future deprivation"?
• Stef's favorite principle: Respect Your Body and how it applies to this work
• What about highly processed foods?
• How do you get to Gentle Nutrition (and/or Gentle Movement)?
• Interoception: what is it and how do you develop it?
• IE is not just instinct! It's "a dynamic interplay of instinct, emotion, and thought." Different parts of the brain are present to give us different pieces of information.
• Community Question: What if I binged at night and I'm not hungry in the morning? Will my body think I'm restricting if I don't eat?
• Community Question: How to say No to food but not in a restrictive way?
• I feel sad when I have to stop eating
• Eating without distractions
• Did Elyse expect IE to get so big?
