To Lose Weight, Be An Intuitive Eater!

JUST FOR TODAY: Be an INTUITIVE EATER – select the type and amount of food that your body needs, when it needs it. You'll eat less and be more satisfied!

It's noon. Did you walk into a restaurant because you're hungry, or just because it's your lunch hour and it's "time to eat"? When you ordered that salad, is that what your body signaled you that it needed, or did you choose something that you thought would be a "healthy choice"? If you really wanted a cheeseburger and fries, when your salad arrives you'll probably put extra dressing on it, order a second slice of garlic bread, and nibble on your friend's fries when she's in the ladies room! If you had made an intuitive choice, then you would have enjoyed your meal and been satisfied with less food. You will eat fewer calories in the long run if you check in with your body and order exactly what it needs, when it needs it. With practice, you can be an intuitive eater instead of a calorie counter. This will help you be free of obsession with food, feel less deprived, prevent binge eating and achieve a healthy weight. Try it at your next meal today!
