Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The act of dieting promotes weight gain in a variety of age groups. The body’s attempt to survive the dieting process is to slow down your metabolism, destroy your muscle tissue, and become more hungry and preoccupied with food. #2 The war on obesity has created bigger health problems, as high-quality studies show that being at a lower weight does not confer better health or outcomes. The pursuit of weight loss, even in the name of health, perpetuates body-weight bias and stigma. #3 The diet mentality, which is based on the rules of dieting, creates a cognitive dissonance between what you are experiencing to be true and what you’re told to do. It erodes trust in your body, because the rules dictate your food choices regardless of how you feel. #4 Intuitive Eating is not a pass or fail process, but a learning experience. It’s important to understand that every eating experience you have, whether perceived as negative or positive, is an opportunity to learn about your body.

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview: #1 When we cultivated the premise of Intuitive Eating, we reviewed hundreds of studies that, in addition to our clinical experience, ultimately formed the basis for the ten Intuitive Eating principles. Today, the research on Intuitive Eating itself is robust. #2 The media began to pay attention to Intuitive Eating in 1995, when we published the book. In 2005, a study showed that women who scored high on an Intuitive Eating scale had lower fat levels in the blood and a reduction in the overall risk for heart disease. #3 In 2006, Dr. Tracy Tylka of Ohio State University published a study that validated three key aspects of Intuitive Eating: unconditional permission to eat when hungry, eating for physical rather than emotional reasons, and reliance on internal hunger and satiety cues to determine when and how much to eat. #4 Interoceptive awareness is the ability to perceive physical sensations that arise from within your body. It is a direct experience, not the past or future, that happens right now. It includes basic states like feeling a distended bladder, hunger and satiety cues, and the felt sense of every emotional feeling.
