Non Diet Approach and Intuitive Eating
How many diets have you tried in your lifetime? There’s Keto, Weight Watchers, hypnotherapy, low-carb, counting calories…the list goes on. Now how long did each of these last?
Chances are you’ve discovered that dieting is not a long-term solution to health. Research suggests that 95% of diets fail and can lead to weight cycling, lower metabolism, and disordered eating behaviors.
If you’re done with dieting, but arent sure what’s next let us tell you about: the non-diet approach to health.
The non-diet approach is a way of thinking about health and wellness that focus’s on total health and well-being including physical, mental, and emotional health rather than a number on the scales. It emphasizes self-acceptance, weight inclusivity, and intuitive eating.
Our team would help you to aim to reconnect with the body, develop self-trust, re-discover the joy of eating, and embrace movement that feels good. Self-care and mindfulness is at the heart of the non-diet approach. We use existing frameworks for the non-diet approach including Intuitive Eating.
As you work on improving your health with the non-diet approach to health, it might look like:
- Responding to physical cues around hunger and fullness.
- Finding movement in forms that you enjoy and feel good to you.
- Allowing for greater flexibility with meal planning.
- Enjoying all foods without anxiety or guilt.
