Starting off with a loaded question I keep asking myself (& you keep asking me): Did we take intuitive eating too far? Today's episode is a follow-up from last week's with Dr. David Wiss, all about ultra-processed foods. I stand by the content of the information and data shared last week, and I know David only speaks about information he can completely back up. However, I do want to reiterate the intent of the conversation. It was not to make more rules in your brain or tell you to be more restrictive. We were mostly talking about issues with policies and the general food industry, the research, and the biases in research. We highlighted where some information out there may actually be false. This is a much larger conversation— not just about me or you. Seeing how this problem will not be solved by just myself or any individual was eye-opening. Which means that the answer is not to change the way you as an individual eat (IE cutting out all UPF.) To reiterate, I very much agree with the idea of all foods fit model, food neutrality, and listening to your cravings. However, I think when we end at that, it feels like something is missing. Tweetable Quotes "I very much agree with the idea of all foods fit model, food neutrality, and listening to your cravings." -Rachelle Heinemann "For someone with a restrictive eating disorder, relearning means eating more regularly, eating more types of food (especially UPF), and challenging food rules." -Rachelle Heinemann "I always say this, and I'll say it again, intuitive eating doesn't start at honoring hunger and fullness and cravings. It starts at relearning to eat and then, and only then, reintroducing the rest.
