Created in 1995, Intuitive Eating has exploded in cultural awareness in recent years. In this episode, I sat down with co-creators Evelyn Tribole and Elyse Resch to talk about intuitive eating’s origins, the evolution toward weight inclusive wellness and why they reworked the material for the newest edition (to be released June 2020) as anti-diet. Plus I read letters from four fellow dietitians at various stages of their careers to share the impact it has made on them personally and professionally.
Body Kindness 100% embraces Intuitive Eating as the way to work with your body and heal your relationship with food. (It’s what saved me at my diet “rock bottom”. Research backs this up too with over 100 studies involving intuitive eating that have shown to help people psychologically and physically support their bodies and well-being.
