Thrive Beyond Size

Hey friends, welcome back to Thrive Beyond Size! Today, we’re pulling back the curtain on a hot topic: intuitive eating. With so many programs jumping on the bandwagon, it's time we sift through the confusion and uncover what true intuitive eating is all about and how to spot when diet culture is sneaking in to steal the show. So, we’re going to break it down together and talk about what real intuitive eating is and how to spot when it’s being co-opted by diet culture.

Intuitive eating is about learning to trust your body’s signals, practicing self-compassion, and letting go of the idea that your worth is tied to your weight. But when intuitive eating gets mixed with diet culture, it can lead you right back into the same cycle of restriction and shame that you’re trying to break free from.

I’ll guide you through 10 signs to help identify when claims of "intuitive eating" may not be the real deal. If you see weight loss as the primary goal, labels of “good” and “bad” foods, or any strict rules about when or what you can eat, it’s not true intuitive eating. We’re talking about tuning into your body’s needs, enjoying food without guilt, and reconnecting with your body in a freeing but not restrictive way. By the end of this episode, you’ll have the tools to spot when something’s not quite right and confidently stay true to the empowering principles of intuitive eating!
