Can you meal plan and cook with intuitive eating? How do you eat intuitively if you’re following a meal plan – isn’t that a diet? What if you don’t want to eat what you planned? And what if meal planning feels too diety?
These are some of the most common questions I get from clients and group members when it comes to intuitive eating – right under Will intuitive eating help me lose weight?
Meal prep and planning are an integral part of Gentle Nutrition, Honor Your Hunger, Know Your Fullness, and Body Respect Principles of Intuitive Eating.
