3 MUST HAVE Intuitive Eating Ingredients for 2022

It is almost New Year which means that my inbox (and probably yours too!) is being flooded with dozens of emails about the next latest diet. While all these diets are comprised of different rules, they all promise the same thing, quick weight loss.

When you see the before and after pictures attached to these emails you may be tempted to give in and try whatever diet they are promoting. You may even find success in your pursuit of losing weight in the first few weeks. Then a month or so later you notice your weight has plateaued and you stop following the dieting rules. Before you know it you say, “forget it” and drop the diet completely. Eventually, you regain all the weight you immediately lost and go back to your old eating habits.

If you have found yourself in this cycle, you are not alone. Most people who are chronic dieters find themselves in this never-ending loop. Studies have shown that this constant weight fluctuation that your body goes through is not good for your overall health. It is healthier for you to stay at the weight you’re at and practice healthier habits.

There are 3 essential ingredients I believe you need to have an overall healthier lifestyle:

1. Create a healthy mindset. 

Do not listen to all of those around you telling you what to do. Instead, focus on your body’s needs and wants. What makes YOU happy? What makes YOU feel good? What eases your mind and fills your stomach? Don’t let dieting books, relatives, and friends dictate what you need or what you should eat. Only you know how to make yourself the best you can be. Re-learn to trust your body. You may be surprised what you get out of it.

2. Find caring love and support. 

Being on this journey alone can feel impossible, especially when your closest friends have all decided to diet. So, what are your options? There are plenty of support groups online full of people who have had a similar experience to you. Having a proper support system can help you stay on this journey and provide the help you may need along the way.

3. Be open to learning about nutrition from a reputable source. 

While the internet can be a great resource for many things, it does not replace the information provided by an expert. It’s key to connect with a reputable nutrition source such as a registered dietitian nutritionist to learn about nutrition. Get to know what you’re putting into your body. The more you know, the more you will find yourself being more conscious about what you’re eating.

This year, focus on your health, not your weight. Say no to dieting and yes to body empowerment.
