Intuitive & Mindful Eating

Multiple studies have shown that intuitive eating, especially when done mindfully, is the best way our body and mind can be nurtured. Some of the benefits include:

Healthier Eating Behavior

Intuitive and Mindful Eating significantly lower the odds of disordered eating behavior, like binge eating or chronic dieting.

Improved psychology

People who start eating intuitively and mindfully show improved levels of stress and anxiety and have better psychological and behavioral health.

Reliable Internal Cues

Intuitive and Mindful Eaters tend to have an increased awareness of physiological cues and a better reliance on hunger and satiety cues.

Less Body Image Concerns

People who eat intuitively and mindfully tend to have less shape, weight, and body image concerns, and an overall balanced relationship with their bodies.

Better Health Indicators

Studies show that intuitive and mindful eaters have a healthier lipid profile, better blood pressure and other health indicators.

Exercise for Health & Fun

Those who eat mindfully and intuitively tend to exercise for reasons that are not weight-related, like health and fun, which makes them more likely to turn exercise into a lifelong habit.

Why dieting may not be the right way for you any more

It results in disordered eating behaviour.

Long cycles of dieting may cause behaviours like binge eating, emotional eating, deprivations and restrictions or overeating and food obsession.

It creates a negative emotional response.

Unsuccessful diets or repeated weight regain may cause negative and persistent emotions like low self-esteem, feelings of failure, self-accusation and self-loathing.

It undermines your body's nourishment. ​

Dieting and restrictions, usually followed by overeating and over-indulging, are the exact opposite of the balance that the body needs for optimal wellness and health.

Sounds familiar?

If any of the above sounds like you, then you might need to try a different approach. Answer a short questionnaire and find out how much you have been affected by the diet mentality and whether an off-a-diet approach would probably be good for you.

Nutrient-dense eating

Food that is good for your body and your mind has nothing to do with calories.

We remove the stress caused by numbers and we focus on nutrients, taste, and health-supportive food choices.
