Transcript:
Hi, my name is Christy Maloney and I’m a registered dietitian, and owner of Enhanced Nutrition Associates. Today I wanted to come on to talk with you a little bit about my top three tips for intuitive eating.
You want to take as good care of yourself as you take of everyone else.
TIP #1
The first tip, reject the diet mentality. Just because you’ve always dieted does not mean that you always have to. Think about what dieting has taken away from you, and what you want to change to have your best relationship with food and body.
TIP #2
Tip number two, get in touch with your hunger and fullness cues. Notice what you’re craving. Notice what your body is telling you. The key to doing all of this is to work on doing it non judgmentally. You’re not bad. If you’re hungry, you’re not bad. If you’re craving cake, those things are fine. It’s just data. It’s neutral.
TIP #3
And the third tip is to cultivate body respect. Take good care of yourself. Get to your doctor’s appointments, engage in joyful movement, meaning moving your body in a way that you like, get your rest engaged in fun.
The biggest thing to remember is that if mama goes down, the whole ship goes down. So you want to take care of you to live your best life. And remember, you want to take as good care of yourself as you take of everyone else.
