I've been trying to do IE for 5 days now. I've managed do it pretty well and I know I've been eating enough because I haven't been on pinterest at all! I used to be on it all day everyday looking for food that I could make. I'm still working on changing my mindset and finding exercise I enjoy.

[@rebeccahileman3954]

I love that puppy! 🥰

I’ve been struggling and I know it’s food rules I can’t seem to break or let go of. I seem to do really well during the day it’s easy. Like breakfast I have a lower appetite like most do and so I can eat my breakfast to perfect comfort and am satisfied for hours until lunch and then lunch I will eat leftovers from dinner and it truly must be food I enjoy. I do find if I didn’t love the food, I will kind of go off track and start questioning things and obsessing over eating out to replace that food but still I eat my lunch and if I find mid day I’m a little hungry I will have my protein bar which is like dessert to me so I enjoy it and it holds me over but once I’m off of work and on my way home I start obsessing over the time to eat. I think this stems from when I was intermittent fasting for several years, I never ate past 6pm and the earlier dinner was the better because that meant it was longer I could fast for until lunch the next day. I have slowly stopped trying to eat by 6 but it’s still an issue in that I get home and will start snacking immediately, obsessing in the car on the way home of what I can eat as soon as I walk in and I don’t think it’s high hunger. Im not ravenous at all, it’s very mild, if at all. I’ll try to wait and really tune in and ask myself are you really hungry or is this some food rule crap? But then a few minutes pass and I convince myself that I’m hungry and need to eat. By the time I actually make my dinner after all the snacking I am not truly hungry for it anymore yet I will still eat it because I feel guilty that I ate snack foods and not a nutritious meal. It’s insane. I feel insane and can’t believe that I’ve become this person that can’t just eat when hungry and stop when full as we are programmed to do. It’s truly overwhelming trying to unlearn all of these rules and diet culture scams when you have formed these habits. I feel for you all that are fighting this demon! Oh and I have issues with food waste so I tend to want to finish my plate no matter what so I tend to prepare myself too small of portions for lunches and end up being still hungry which is where the protein bar comes in. It’s a learning process for sure.

Hi I was wondering if you could talk about food and interstitial cystitis. I was recently diagnosed and I’m struggling to follow the diet. I know I need to quit coffee and I’m trying to get a plan to do that without withdrawals. My doc gave me a huge list to follow and it’s overwhelming. I would love to learn about IE as related to IC as well as meal plan and grocery haul ideas.Thank you!

[@allisonjohnson4485]

What are you thoughts on "trigger foods"? Is it considered a food rule if I intentionally avoid buying trigger foods? I allowed myself to buy girl scout cookies for the first time since quitting WW back in October (started IE at that time). But I just cant stop eating them. I went through the stage of craving the junk food at the beginning of IE but I didn't expect to lose control like this after feeling successful for a few months.

I’m starting to intuitively eat after discovering you . I’d heard of this before but I didn’t think it applied to me for some reason . I went through a period of dieting and I lost the weight I wanted to lose and then my mom died last year . I’ve just been in this spiral of binge eating since then. I’ll try to go back to a deficit and then binge a few days in every time . I’ve just been stuck in this mindset of being so obsessed with food and the macros / calories in everything. It’s hard to even enjoy food most of the time . Thank you for making this channel and your blog.

[@margaritap.9459]

I would highly recommend reading the "Intuitive Eating" book itself - to me, this approach didn't make much sense until I dived into the book. It's eye opening, really!

[@Dazzlemebeautifully]

@@margaritap.9459 I just picked it up a few days ago ! Thank you !

[@shariliming2441]

Can you at some point address what to do if you have pre diabetes and have high cholesterol?

[@annieperez2510]

Thank you. I get so irritated that I have allowed myself be involved in diet culture, but I think too it was my families insecurities put on me as a child , and I learned from them, and then that was just the cycle that now as an adult I am trying to break on my own. UGH💆🏻‍♀️

[@peamoo2485]

I'd love to hear about how your food rules or obsession with food impacted your relationship (food police?) during that time in your life. Or, relationships in general! :)

Evidently double doozies are cream-filled cookies. Think Oreos but with monster cookies, chocolate chip, sugar cookies, etc. I had no idea! 😂

[@NIGHTZRBX]

How can I access society?

[@aprilbatley6738]

Any advice on how to help with the eating simple carbs and not feeling hungry all day if thats what i truely want that day ?( ive learned that when i eat simple carbs like, pizza, i stay hungry and dont get full however sometimes i truely want pizza but i dont know how to get my body to realize yes u did eat and should be full instead of in a half hr be hungry all over again

[@sofiairias6319]

Try having 1-2 slices and ADDING some protein and fiber (fruit or veggies) to the side to make it more balanced and filling

[@weightlossat50]

Hi. I have tried to get ur free e book but it does not seem to be coming in. I have tried 4 times. I would also like to get ur blog post emails

[@joannjacquin4983]

Are you saying that, if we have repeatedly lost weight and gained weight over the years, by dieting, etc. , our bodies will raise our set point and that it is irreversible? In other words, because of all the dieting, our body will never go back down to the lower set point? 😩

[@tanitabymova2425]

Don´t you want upload this type of videos (QaA, 10 IE tips, start mindful eating...) as podcast? It would be lovely to listen to them, have it downloaded if anxiety comes up etc. Love from Czech republic
