Oh yes, the holidays are just around the corner, and with them come holiday feasts fit for kings and queens, the kinds that usually result in overeating, and eventual weight gain. But all that eating is done in the spirit of the holidays, with the delectable turkey, succulent ham, sumptuous stuffing, roasted root veggies, and just about every dessert you can think of traditionally prepared around this time. Oh, and let’s not forget about the eggnog. But after the holiday feasts that bulge in your belly is a sure sign of added winter weight, which most of us resolve to shed in the new year, often by dieting. This year, why not save yourself from the usual cycle and take up the practice of intuitive eating?
Intuitive eating is based on a series of principles that revolve around listening to and respecting your body. Intuitive eating also rejects the concept of dieting, which puts the body through a minor trauma that could eventually trigger a primal desire to overeat. The concept of intuitive eating suggests listening to what your body is telling you. If you’re hungry, it probably means you should eat. When you’re full, that may be a sign that it’s time to stop. The problem with knowing when you’re full, however, is that it takes some time for your stomach to relay to your body that you’re full, so intuitive eating also encourages eating slowly. Combined with a healthy lifestyle that includes regular exercise, intuitive eating may just be the best way to eat.
