How to Break Up with Diet Culture
Eat Intuitively
Intuitive eating is a good way to break up with diet culture. In this method, you will learn how to use your logical thoughts, emotions, and natural instincts to approach food. The basic principle is that you should eat whenever you feel hungry and should not limit your diet by time, food options, or calories. Eating intuitively can be a gentle response to the body’s needs instead of toxic rules specified by the diet culture. Indeed, this approach is backed by science: If you listen to hunger cues and respond properly, you are meeting the psychological and biological needs, which results in satisfaction and satiety in the brain.
