You’ve heard it before: the “diet mentality” will inevitably lead to perceived failure, guilt, and shame. Fortunately, intuitive eating is not a diet and promotes a healthy relationship with food, our bodies, and our emotions and perception of ourselves. Intuitive eating is all about embracing the pleasure of eating, living healthfully, and not feeling guilty…
