He is eager to eat it all up.
No forcing food, no just one more bite. She stops eating when she’s full. Every single time she eats.
We used to all eat like this until we were bombarded with messages how we
should eat.
Babies cry for feedings or meal time, or if it's a young child, they ask for food when they are hungry.
We can still do the same. Eat when we are hungry, not when a meal plan says. Eating every 2-3 hours does not stoke the metabolism like we once thought.
If you like eating every 2-3 hours, by all means,
go for it, but if you don't, you can eat every 4 hours, etc.
Mindful/intuitive eating was something that we did out of the womb, and we can still do it as adults.
I come from the dieting mindset, so I can tell you first hand it wasn't easy to reverse the effects of the diet mentality. With time, patience, effort, and consistency, I did
it.
I changed the way I ate and how I viewed food, even when I wanted to lose some fat. Remember, there is nothing inherently wrong with wanting to lose fat. It's how we go about it.
My number 1 thing that I am offering up today for advice would be to start paying to attention to your hunger. Eat when you are hungry and stop when you are almost full. No clocks necessary. Your
body is your clock.
What are your thoughts on this? On mindful/intuitive eating?
