Intuitive Eating: A Non-Diet Approach to Health and Wellness
Intuitive Eating is a self-care eating framework that integrates instinct, emotion, and rational thought. It was created by two dietitians, Evelyn Tribole and Elyse Resch, to help people break free from the cycle of chronic dieting and develop a healthy relationship with food and body image.
