Intuitive Eating for Weight Loss

June 9, 2017 by admin Leave a Comment

Intuitive Eating for Weight Loss

Eating Disorder Statistics reveals that at least 30 million people in America are suffering from eating disorders. Also, many individuals, particularly women, are increasingly going through anorexia nervosa. Surprisingly, almost half of the U.S. population of teens has adopted unhealthy weight control behaviors such as skipping meals, smoking, deliberate vomiting, and taking laxatives to avoid weight gain.

Additions to this alarming situation in the country, people are 24/7 being misguided and manipulated through unhealthy recommendations by models and celebrities such as, crash or fad diets.

However, doctors and lifestyle experts are trying their best to increase the awareness in the people regarding healthier ways to control or reduce their weight.

One of the best ways suggested by various nutrition experts is the intuitive eating for weight loss.  Read below to gain the better understanding of what intuitive eating is and how it can be helpful to achieve healthier weight-loss.

What is Intuitive Eating?

Basically, intuitive eating as the name suggests focuses upon listening to your own intuitions when it comes to eating without restricting yourself from any particular type of food. This type of eating allows you to eat “everything” in moderation as a response to your body’s natural hunger until you have sufficiently achieved the satiety.

The goal of this type of eating is to make sure that you are not left with a calorie deficit or are deprived of the required nutrients your body needs. Fortunately, intuitive eating promotes peace-making with all types of food without forbidding any.

However, taking care of eaters emotions does not at all mean that a person is allowed to do binge eating, rather this particular technique of eating encourages one to eat consciously by making them determine their satiety cues.

Importance of Intuitive Eating

The whole idea of allowing one to eat a balanced diet comprising of all the essential nutrients including enough fiber, water and minerals is to ensure that people do not fall into any type of deficiency during their journey to lose weight.

For an instance, there are certain “diets” that do not allow consuming carbohydrates at all. On the other hand, intuitive eating allows person to ingest carbohydrates in moderate amount by taking few bites from the whole-wheat grain bread guaranteeing the benefits of having carbohydrates such as, improved digestion due to dietary fibers, controlled cholesterol levels, and a healthy cardiovascular system.

How Intuitive Eating Help one to Lose Weight?

The anti-dieting approach which promotes mindful eating actually trains your body and mind to understand your body signals and differentiate hunger from fullness. This in turn helps you to inhibit taking extra calories that would turn into fat.

Intuitive eating helps you to consume the adequate amount of calories which is efficiently utilized during regular physical activities.

Most importantly, this type of eating diminishes the production of stress hormones in your body which is the major cause of overeating and cravings for sugary and processed foods.

Eventually, intuitive eating leads to contentment and positivity, better body acceptance, higher self-esteem, healthy eating habits, and overall lower body fat percentage. Your healthier mindset towards each food helps you to adopt healthier lifestyle instead of falling into yo-yo dieting.

The best part about intuitive eating for weight loss is that its benefits are long-lasting and the acquired good change is for long-term and permanent, unlike crash diets.

Hi Friends!
I'm Fern and I have a love for travel, beauty, health and flowers! I went to school for nutrition, but wasn't really interested in being a nutritionist. So, I started to bartend and have since I graduated school a year ago.
I love talking to people, traveling and writing on my blog... and bartending allows me to do the things I love.

I can take off for a month to travel abroad and there will never be any shortage of bartending/serving jobs when I get home. I also love that I can work abroad bartending anywhere I want! So, I hope you enjoy my blog and if you have any questions, feel free to email me! :)
