It's really fascinating that 90-95% of all diets fail, and yet many people continue to blame themselves, instead of blaming the institution of dieting. That is where Intuitive Eating plays a huge role. Intuitive Eating allows you to become more attuned to your body's "inner wisdom" or natural hunger and fullness signals. It's about rejecting the diet mentality and integrating full awareness of mind, body, and food. By forming a healthy relationship with food and physical activity, you can come to love yourself in mind, body, and soul. Let's become Intuitive Eaters together!
