Body Knows Best: Intuitive Eating for a Comfortable Weight

It’s believed that a beautiful person should be thin, so people go on diets, break down, gain weight again, blame themselves for lack of willpower, and hate their body. Renowned German dietitian Marieke Awe is against diets and invites readers to try intuitive eating. A person who practices intuitive eating doesn’t follow strict rules, doesn’t exclude fatty and sweet foods from their diet, doesn’t experience stress related to food, doesn’t blame themselves for chips and cakes, and simply enjoys eating. At the same time, they listen to the body’s signals about hunger and fullness—and as a result, in most cases they eat foods that give them energy and help them feel good.
