Understanding Disordered Eating: Eating Disorder Recovery and Body Image Healing

91. Using Intuitive Eating in Eating Disorder Recovery is a Myth with Hilmar Wagner MPH, RDN, CD, LN


Listen Later

Here’s the scenario: You have a, let’s say, complicated relationship with food. You’re trying to work toward healing and get rid of these freaking food obsessions and weird binges. You crack open the Intuitive Eating book and love it. Eat when hungry? Stop when full? Honor cravings? This sounds amazing! You try it. And it totally backfires. Then you start wondering if it even works at all.

Today I am talking with Hilmar Wagner about what eating should actually look like at the beginning of recovery. Spoiler: not like the eating described above.
