by Jessica Yu ![]() Juice cleanses, low-carb and low-fat diets, cabbage diets, raw diets, and calorie restrictions ; there are tons of diets that you can choose from, many of which promise fast results and instant weight loss. These diets are oftentimes dangerous, and weight can be gained just as quickly as it was lost. If long term lifestyle changes are not made, it is quite difficult to lose weight. No one wants to be on a diet forever, so there is always a constant struggle between the body and food. Recently, there has been a new lifestyle plan that has been
gaining popularity. It is not a diet, but rather a permanent change to eating habits. It’s called Intuitive Eating; a lifestyle where you listen to your body’s needs. If you’re hungry, eat. If you’re full, stop eating. There are no cheat days, calorie restrictions, or foods you aren’t allowed to eat. This lifestyle is aimed to help you become more in tune with your body, and in time, help you find balance. Oftentimes, when we eat too fast we miss our body’s signals of telling us that we are full, therefore eating more than what is necessary. This is not a diet, and can not help you lose weight quickly. However, adapting to this lifestyle can make diets unnecessary and no longer needed in your life. Intuitive Eating seems pretty simple, and many people believe that they are already doing this, but it is much harder than it seems. Having the self control to stop eating when your body is full takes time to develop, and establishing a healthy relationship between your body and food is not easy to achieve. The positive effects that it has had on a lot of people has persuaded many others to join Intuitive Eating, creating a wonderful community.
