In this episode of the Writing with Purpose podcast, I chat with Áine Harkin, an intuitive eating counsellor and wellbeing coach. Áine shares her journey of over thirteen years fromyo-yo dieting to discovering intuitive eating, emphasising the importance of body awareness and the concept of set point weight. Áine explains how intuitive eating promotes a positive relationship with food and the body, and how consuming the foods we love should be a fluid experience, not a rigid diet. Enjoying food is easier when responding to hunger cues, whereas deprivation can lead to overeating and emotional distress.
