Complete Intuitive Eating Guide

[@martinolson761]

Another fantastic video! I try to make intuitive eating the norm...but when my wife bakes Chocholat Chip cookies....all bets are off!

[@FlowHighPerformance1]

You can still eat tasty foods using intuitive eating. It just means that your next meal, or the following day you might not need to eat as much. Or your next meal might be delayed by a longer duration than normal 👍

[@ihebbendebba2978]

You can't. Everything you eat stocks in your body. You will be fat and miserable because life doesn't want you to enjoy anything..

[@spacevox2584]

I have always planned when I eat based on if I feel hungry or not, and I never really struggled with my weight as a result.

[@FlowHighPerformance1]

That is definitely a good skill to have developed 👍

@@mosijahi3096 emotions should not be acted upon only logic, that last statement is an ignorant presumption, important tasks rarely suit people's emotions and feelings, sure emotional compliance with a task is basically what motivation is, but people are seldom motivated to do what they have to do yet they still do because of logic.

this is an older comment but i still thought I'd reply as it's an interesting comment/topic! Although people definitely do have varying ranges of emotional variability due to genetics and personal histories one of the reasons someone could feel 'emotionally dull' could actually be because they have something called 'Alexithymia' to some degree. This is essentially when a person is not in tune with their emotions sometimes to the point of not being aware at all when they are feeling them! Instead they can rely heavily on social expectations of themselves or logic, but unconsciously the emotions are still there, and could be diverting actions and behaviours, sometimes into maladaptive coping mechanisms such as overeating (without ever being aware that you are overeating in order to avoid an emotion completely) or other behaviours. This can present in adults who had upbringings that did not allow or encourage emotional outbursts, or even in boys having absorbed the cultural conditioning that men should not be as emotional as women. I am absolutely not saying this is the case for yourself! But thought it was interesting to point out in case it resonates with anyone else in the comments section 😊

It may be unrelated but I wanna see a video about stress. What are those signals like? Is intensity a big factor? Is the idea of eu-stress real? What are physiological effects? What are the different regulators of stress? (Sleep could be a good one). Thank you for your videos Mr. Flow.

[@FlowHighPerformance1]

This is a good topic. Will consider making a video on it at some point 👍

[@warithmuhammad8890]

Intuitive eating can potentially cause us to not get enough nutrients in my opinion. We have to have a baseline of food/nutrients that our body needs. If we intuitive eat, we’ll more than likely overeat if we’re overweight & under-eat if we’re underweight. This is why I actually enjoy tracking my calories, macros and micros. It helps me to know that I’m doing my best with regards to eating enough food for either weight loss or a lean bulk (depending on what I’m looking to do).

[@ce2flaco]

You do you. Whatever works for the individual. I've been intuitive eating for about a year now while resistance training. I've reached my target weight and built considerable muscle at the same time. It's been a boon for me. Your results may vary.

[@warithmuhammad8890]

@@ce2flaco very true

[@FlowHighPerformance1]

There is certainly nothing wrong with calorie & macro tracking. This is just another way to help maintain a healthy bodyweight. However, even if you eat 'intuitively' you still need to pay attention to food quality too 👍

[@Alastair_Adana]

What do I do if my body’s intuition tells me to eat everything I see.

[@ididntaskverified3663]

You think of some obese person eating and imagine you are them

[@Soulliom]

you start your bulk

[@FlowHighPerformance1]

intuition is different from biological hunger & satiety. You need to become aware of true biological hunger, not desire to eat for emotional reasons

[@danw.7483]

Great video....thanks!

[@FlowHighPerformance1]

no problem 👍

[@dragonchr15]

Another popular KZbin channel suggested that you fast during the day, then break it at night with 2-3 cups of vegetables, then lean protein, then healthy carbs, and finally, if you still have room after that, then indulge in your junk food. By then you will be stuffed so even if you try to pig out on junk, you will be physically unable to because of all the fiber and protein in your stomach. Hows that for intuitive eating?

[@FlowHighPerformance1]

It's an interesting concept. I wouldn't say it falls under the category of 'intuitive eating' though

[@Alastair_Adana]

@FlowHighPerformance1 do you agree with this persons comment though? Or are there problems to this way of eating

[@FlowHighPerformance1]

@Alastair_Adana I don't see it as a sustainable eating pattern for most people

[@ryanpriye1402]

Honestly intuitive eating feels like less work, I don’t have to cook as much? sign me up lol

[@FlowHighPerformance1]

Well, it doesn't necessarily change how much you cook. It is just a way to manage how much you eat

[@matowicakte]

A topic that would be interesting is the role of breathing/oxygen in fitness and the role it plays on different parts of the body like blood flow or why we tend to throw up if we run too hard or drink too much water quickly

i have 100% hunger even if i overeat (even with high protein meal). So this can't work for me.

[@FlowHighPerformance1]

I doubt that is the case unless you are incredibly lean. It is more likely that you are eating because you crave food, or want to enjoy the taste of it, not due to biological hunger

[@MiracleAngel20]

As someone who has ADHD, I don't experience hunger cues. I can easily forget to eat.

[@FlowHighPerformance1]

I'm sure you would get hungry if you didn't eat for 24 hours

[@MiracleAngel20]

@FlowHighPerformance1 I've actually done that (really, almost 36 hours) before, and no, I didn't. Because people with ADHD have low dopamine, we have low hunger cues.

I gained 5kg fat after quit smoking and it is slowly going up. I counting kcals now for 2 weeks and i really hqte doing it all the time. Also my kcal deficit doesnt show results which indicates i doing it wrong anyway?

[@Scruffed]

Depends on the accuracy of your tracking (i.e. include everything, and weigh your food whenever possible), and the accuracy of your maintenance calorie calculation (apps like Carbon Diet Coach and MacroFactor are great for that purpose). You'll hardly need to track once you have an awareness of the calories in the foods you consume most regularly.

[@FlowHighPerformance1]

If you aren't losing weight over time, you are not in a calorie deficit - by definition. Maybe you are not tracking accurately, or maybe the calorie target you have set is not low enough

[@solidgod1093]

Also, what I have seen a few times is that people who train a lot overestimate the calories that would keep them at maintenance as apps and trackers tend to do this more often than not. If you are a male, you may just set a target of e.g. 2.1k kcal per day and you’ll almost certainly lose weight and can then see from there, depending on speed of weight loss

[@joelnye6399]

This is so unrealistic. By this video, the body protects us from overeating. Nothing could be further from the truth. While the body will attempt to protect you from famine in different ways, it will not only allow you to overeat but will gladly store excess intake as well as drive you to overeat if you make eating often a big part of your day. There is hunger induced by the body and there is hunger induced by the mind through habits. We become obese when our mind tells us we are hungry rather than our body. You don't need to eat 3 meals a day but if you choose to do it over time, your body will signal hunger when you skip a meal even though it is not needed. Just like you can eat twice or once a day and your body will adapt to the schedule at some point.

[@FlowHighPerformance1]

I agree with you. That's why we would want to pay attention to biological hunger & satiety - rather than emotional/habitual eating

[@TheCârtiță]

Am i the only one who suddenly thinks this is like a tutorial for bots to learn how to think and say when and how hungry should be so they could be more like humans in their behavior?

[@FlowHighPerformance1]

🤣 It kind of is. I think in the modern world, people aren't great at using their biological signals to make decisions. If they were, we wouldn't have exponentially increasing rates of obesity worldwide

[@chris5737]

@@FlowHighPerformance1or maybe if the food most people consumed was better at satisfying hunger and providing fuel instead of providing empty calories. Much of the foods people consume are loaded with compounds that taste good and but don’t provide a solid balance of necessary nutrients to provide adequate energy. Even if you just snack on inadequate foods like that a couple times a day you will be consuming big piles of heaping calories which will just bog you down and leave you wanting more.
