      • 066. I Was Craving Vegetables. Is That Even Possible?! Intuitive Eating IRL Example

        Have you ever thought it was nearly *impossible* to actually CRAVE veggies? I used to think the same. I craved the sweets all the time – the chips, the chocolate, the cookies, the ice cream… but how could I possibly crave vegetables?

        Back when my past self was on-and-off diets, non-stop eating sweets into the evening, and trying to be as “good” as possible during the day, I didn't think anyone could actually want to eat more vegetables. But last weekend I was really craving veggies. And I want to chat with you about it! 

        This episode is a good example of what intuitive eating can look like in real life. I’m sharing a lot about where I used to be and how I got to this point where I can feel so at peace with all foods, that I actually crave vegetables. 

        I chat with you about: 

        • What my life looked like when I was stuck in the diet-binge cycle
        • My negative past relationship with food 
        • How things changed for me and what life looks like now in my intuitive eater era 
        • My now positive relationship with food 
        • Why I was craving vegetables 
        • What was going through my mind and how I responded to the “craving” for veggies
        • How this is very different than the diet mentality

                                          How do your values and intuitive eating go together? Hint hint: focusing on your values can actually be a wonderful tool to find intuitive eating success! 

                                          In this episode we’re joined by Elizabeth Harris, a registered dietitian, certified Intuitive Eating counselor, speaker, entrepreneur, and co-host of the podcast Wellness Rebranded. 

                                          Elizabeth is passionate about empowering people to drop out of diet culture and reimagine their relationship with food, movement, and their bodies so they can prioritize their whole health with Intuitive Eating, gentle nutrition, and body image healing. Elizabeth’s motto is “self-care, not self-control.” Because food is meant to be enjoyed, movement should make you happy, and we’ve all got better things to do than counting carbs or calories!
