Why Intuitive Eating Can Backfire

Why can intuitive eating backfire? If you’ve tried it and ended up gaining weight, snacking at night, or feeling even more out of control around food. You may be getting your cues from the wrong part of your brain. In this episode, I explain what intuitive eating really is. We’re born with natural hunger and fullness cues. I also explain why those cues get disrupted by years of dieting, binge eating, and emotional eating. When your nervous system is stuck in Protection Mode, your survival brain bypasses those cues and pushes you toward processed, high-energy foods. The goal is still to become an intuitive eater. But there’s a missing step between out-of-control eating and intuitive eating, and it’s your nervous system. I share how shifting from Protection Mode to Safety Mode helps you trust your cues again, and how I now eat and move intuitively, dessert included, without feeling controlled by food. #IntuitiveEating #NervousSystemRegulation #AntiDiet #MakePeaceWithFood 💌 LET’S KEEP THE CONVERSATION GOING Have you tried intuitive eating before?
