  • [4:39] What is Intuitive Eating?

  • [10:55] How does Bariatric Intuitive Eating translate to bariatric patients? 

  • [14:17] What’s the best way to navigate food choices after bariatric surgery?

  • KEY TAKEAWAYS:

    • Intermittent fasting is not something you do right after post-op. This is ideal for when hunger has returned and you are in a maintenance phase. 

    • It’s all about eating good to feel good, not to be good. Are you feeling good? Are you feeling energized? Is it fueling your body right? 

    • A great principle to coping with emotions is kindness, and learning new ways to nurture yourself without using food to cope with emotions.
