One of the first steps on an intuitive eating journey is to remove any restrictions around foods that have been previously restricted and to give yourself unconditional permission to eat all foods. Yes, even chocolate!

 

This can result in an incredible feeling of freedom and liberation, but you may also feel as though you are eating a lot of these foods, all of the time. Although this is a normal part of the process, it's common to get stuck at this stage. If this is happening to you right now, this episode will give you three strategies you can begin implementing to help you through it.

This is one of the most commonly asked questions I get about intuitive eating and I answer it in this week's episode. It's one of the top google searches attached to intuitive eating. This makes me really sad as there is so much to be gained from an intuitive eating journey, but it's normal to wonder about this and have a desire for weight loss. 

 

If you're ready to embark on an intuitive eating journey, come join us in my online course and group coaching programme, The Foundations of Intuitive Eating. This course provides a mix of online learning and professional and peer support, which is invaluable on an intuitive eating journey. Our first live call is next Monday the 11th of July.

Jo Moscalu RD is the Binge Eating Dietitian. As well as being a registered dietitian and intuitive eating counsellor, Jo has her own past struggles with binge eating and understands how isolating this place can be.
