Today in my back to basics series I’m talking about intuitive eating principle principle 10, honour your health - gentle nutrition.

Gentle nutrition is very intentionally the last of the intuitive eating principles. 

In this episode I am going to help you find a way to consider nutrition without being overwhelmed or all consumed by it.

I’m explaining how diet plans put a large focus on nutrition, and make you feel guilty for not being ‘healthy’ enough. 

I’ll also explain why terms like healthy and unhealthy are words you should stop using, and give you a new way to think about it.

And I’m going to help you to understand how you can tell from the way your body feels what kind of nutrients you need - in a very gentle, intuitive way.

Today in my back to basics series I’m talking about intuitive eating principle 9, movement - feel the difference.

Exercise does not have to be gruelling. You don’t have to live by “no pain, no gain”.

Exercise also does not have to be a way for you to earn your food, extra calories, points or syns.

Exercise can be full of joy and fun.

And, hear me out, exercise is not mandatory - you get to choose whether you exercise or not!

I’m going to help you have a better relationship with exercise. Let’s start by simply calling it movement. Feels better already, right?

Today in my back to basics series I’m talking about intuitive eating principle 8, respect your body.

People often talk about body positivity, and loving your body, but that’s tough when you’re in a place where to even like your body feels like a stretch.

In this episode I’ll help you start that process. Let’s talk about body respect instead, and body appreciation. Let’s just start there.

I’ll give you some crazy stats about women wanting to change their bodies, and what they’d give for that. I’ll ask some questions of you so that you can evaluate where you are with your body respect now. 

And we’ll talk about the things that are within our control, and outside of our control, when it comes to what affects our body confidence.

Today in my back to basics series I’m talking about intuitive eating principle 7, Cope with Your Emotions with Kindness

Emotional eating gets a bad rap. We see it on TV and in movies all the time - have a bad break up, eat a tub of ice cream!

But what if I told you that emotional eating is fine? That’s it’s actually a good thing in some respects?

Find out in this episode how food is intrinsically linked to food, the different emotional reasons why we might eat, why it’s ok to be an emotional eater, and how you can evaluate whether it is food you need, or something else entirely.

As with hunger, fullness feels different to each person. Right now, if you’ve spent years dieting, you may not know what that feels like for you.

Plus I’m going to give you a little activity you can do to help you to discover what fullness feels like for you.

Today in my back to basics series I’m talking about intuitive eating principle 5, discover the satisfaction factor. 

Satisfaction isn’t just about eating so that you are full. There is sensory satisfaction to be had, and emotional satisfaction, and they are just as important as the feeling of fullness. 

When you understand the power of being satisfied when you eat, you can reduce your cravings and your binges. 

In this episode I will help you to understand that, and give you some tips on how to be more satisfied when you eat.

Today in my back to basics series I’m talking about intuitive eating principle 4, challenge the food police. 

The food police? Who are they?

You know those voices in your head that tell you you’ve eaten too much, you shouldn’t eat something because it’s bad for you, or that you can eat now because you’ve been to the gym….. that’s the food police.

And we want them gone! 

In this episode I’ll help you to understand those thoughts, and give you tips for how to change them.

Today in my back to basics series I’m talking about intuitive eating principle 3, make peace with food. 

Why is it that you feel like you have no control around food, and that you can’t have certain foods in the house because you feel like you’ll simply eat it all in one sitting?

How can pizza and cake be good for you, and have good things that the body can use?

This is what I’m talking about today. I’m going to help you regain that control and see that all food is good food.

Welcome to my intuitive eating back to basics series. Each day for 10 days I'll release a new episode, guiding you through one of the intuitive eating principles. I’ll explain what it means, why it is important, and how it applies in real life.

To become an intuitive eater we first have to totally reject diet culture. If you still have the idea that you want to diet in the back of your head you can’t truly lean into intuitive eating.

Diet culture is all those messages around us that tell us we’re not good enough as we are. You might be surprised when you start to look into it just how much diet culture messaging is around us, being soaked up by our subconscious.

Today I’m going to help you to spot sneaky diet culture, and start to reject it.
