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:
Intuitive and Mindful Eating significantly lower the odds of disordered eating behavior, like binge eating or chronic dieting.
People who start eating intuitively and mindfully show improved levels of stress and anxiety and have better psychological and behavioral health.
Intuitive and Mindful Eaters tend to have an increased awareness of physiological cues and a better reliance on hunger and satiety cues.
People who eat intuitively and mindfully tend to have less shape, weight, and body image concerns, and an overall balanced relationship with their bodies.
Studies show that intuitive and mindful eaters have a healthier lipid profile, better blood pressure and other health indicators.
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.
Long cycles of dieting may cause behaviours like binge eating, emotional eating, deprivations and restrictions or overeating and food obsession.
Unsuccessful diets or repeated weight regain may cause negative and persistent emotions like low self-esteem, feelings of failure, self-accusation and self-loathing.
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.
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.
If we want to thrive in any area of our lives, we need to have a holistic approach on our wellness. Making peace with food and accepting the body that was gifted to us is just one piece of the puzzle. But the other pieces need our attention, too.

My name is Eleni and I’m really happy you’re here. I created this website to help you stop your perpetual cycle of dieting and get on good terms with food and your body again.
As a non-diet nutrition coach, I continuously research, support and promote the off a diet approach which aims to promote health at all levels, rethink and reassess deeply rooted opinions about body image and nutrition, and reclaim a balanced relationship with food and the body.
As a woman who spent many years of her life clouded by the diet mentality, I completely understand how difficult it can be to shed the diet culture mindset and rebuild your relationship with food from square one. But we don’t strive for perfection. We strive for baby steps that can lead us to huge leaps in the long run.
