What is Intuitive Eating? - Fit Friends Happy Hour | Lyssna här

EPISODE 430. Intuitive eating - an evidence-based, weight-inclusive framework created by Evelyn Tribole and Elyse Resch - can reduce diet mentality, ease disordered eating patterns, and improve your relationship with food, body, and self. In this episode, RDN and Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor, Katie Hake, distinguishes disordered eating from eating disorders, shares current statistics on prevalence, treatment gaps, and mortality, and clarifies common misconceptions (it’s not simply “eating intuitively,” not mindful eating, and not a weight-loss approach).

She outlines the 10 principles, addresses common fears like “I’ll only eat junk food” or “I’ll never stop eating,” discusses weight cycling and the correlation between weight and health, and explains why intuitive eating is a journey that often needs support.
