Day 7: How to Eat Intuitively
Intuitive eating isn’t a diet, it’s a lifestyle. The key to intuitive eating is getting in touch with your body. As you practice intuitive eating it becomes easier to learn your body’s hunger and fullness cues as well as what your cravings mean.
Here are the key principles of intuitive eating:
STOP dieting!
Eat when you’re hungry
Stop eating when you’re full
No foods are labelled as “good” or “bad”
Stop using food as a coping mechanism
Utilize gentle nutrition
Exercise to feel good

Food can seem comforting in the face of loneliness. Instead of eating you could call a friend, watch a movie, or spend time with your pet.
Hunger signals can be hard to interpret when you are tired, which makes it hard to know when to eat and when you are satisfied. Instead of eating you could go to bed, meditate, or take a relaxing bath.
