Intuitive eating assumes everyone has the innate ability to tune into their body’s responses, when in fact, very few people are taught this as children. Most of us grew up relying on others to feed us, tell us when we are hungry, and what we should be eating. Only in recent years has the idea of childhood intuitive eating, and feeding your child the rainbow (nutrition), really gained traction. Therefore, individuals do not view intuitive eating as a skill that needs to be learned, but as something they should ‘just know’ how to do, which is not the case and further perpetuates the idea of ‘something is wrong with ME’.
This blog aims to discuss the challenges with the buzz term "intuitive eating", common struggles, and how to navigate this in eating disorder recovery.
