I have many different definitions depending who we’re speaking with, but one definition, it’s a mind-body self-care eating framework, and we have over 125 studies now showing really promising benefits of intuitive eating. Well, Evelyn, you want to start with your definition, then I’ll go on.
So to begin with, for those of our readers who might not be familiar with the concept, what is intuitive eating? Elyse Resch: Could the two of you introduce yourself to our readers and audience? Evelyn Tribole: I’m here with the founders of Intuitive Eating to mark the 25th anniversary of their publication of their groundbreaking book. Hi, I’m Reina Gattuso, I’m a writer for the Talkspace Voice.
The Talkspace Voice spoke to Tribole and Resch about how their “anti-diet” approach to eating can benefit our mental health, and how making peace with food and loving our bodies can help further the fights for gender and racial justice. In honor of the 25th anniversary of the first publication of Intuitive Eating, the pair have released a fully updated fourth edition of the book. They published the first edition of their book, Intuitive Eating: An Anti-Diet Approach in 1995.Ĭentered around ten major principles, ranging from “honor your hunger” and “make peace with food” to “feel your fullness” and “cope with your emotions with kindness,” the philosophy advocates that we become more mindful and self-aware eaters, and that we work with, rather than against, our body’s natural craving for food. They created a philosophy of food that did just that, and Intuitive Eating was born. When Tribole and Resch shared their dissatisfaction with each other, the two realized there must be a different approach to eating: one that emphasized satiety, not restriction intuition, not discipline pleasure, not austerity. Discipline and dieting worked for their clients for a time, but inevitably, diets proved impossible to maintain, and natural hunger resurfaced. Both of them, in keeping with the wisdom of the time, spent their days counseling their clients on nutrition and meal planning, all with the aim of helping their clients lose weight. In 1993, Evelyn Tribole and Elyse Resch were dietitians working next to each other in the same office.
