“That's what intuitive eating is really all about. It's not ‘Eat all the burgers and french fries and drink all the milkshakes until you blow over’. It’s ‘Allow it because it's fun.’ Intuitive eating is about keeping the satisfaction factor in your life, making food a pleasurable experience, but also making food your tool. Food is our nourishment. ” - Amanda Sevilla

Key Quotes
“We don't live to eat, we eat to live, but it should be something that we enjoy doing, and it should be food that we enjoy, which changes every day.” - Amanda Sevilla
“It's easier for us to make decisions that are for our higher good. It's easier for us to make decisions as a caretaker to our bodies rather than trying to impulsively take out any emotion on our own bodies.” - Amanda Sevilla
“What we also need is that awareness. We all have awareness, but that awareness to be rekindled and to re-spark this dynamic relationship we have with food, exercise, mental health, mindset, self-esteem, they all go together, and I think that's so beautiful.” - Amanda Sevilla
