Weight Loss and Intuitive Eating: Why They Don’t Work Together

September 9, 2018 By jaclyn 6 Comments

weight loss and intuitive eatingWeight loss and intuitive eating, do they belong in the same sentence? As intuitive eating becomes more and more popular in the health and wellness scene I have noticed that some are confusing intuitive eating as another diet. They place restrictions and rules where none should exist and some even seek it out to lose weight. As a Holistic Nutritionist, I used to feel that I should be promoting weight loss because weight = health, or so I thought. It turns out, there is so much more than that and weight loss truly is not the answer we’ve all been searching for. The weight loss industry takes up a massive chunk in the health and wellness space and even when the term weight loss isn’t quite as prominent, it is often times the underlying message. The term “Get Healthy” is often times followed by a thin white woman holding a pair of jeans away from her toned stomach to show how she lost all that weight. And so somehow along the way getting healthy has become synonymous with weight loss. How did we get here?…

Self Love After Weight Gain: How To Change Your Mindset, Not Your Dress Size

self love after weight gainSelf love after weight gain is tough, it requires a deep mindset shift and today I am sharing four mindeset shifts that I hope will inspire you to learn to show yourself love no matter what. We are more than half way through February, the month after January otherwise known as Diet-uary. Uhhhmmm, did I just make that up, yes, yes I did. But you know how it goes, January is the month where many attempt to start new healthy habits, diet and of course lose weight. The obsession with weight loss is so real which is why the weight loss industry is a billion dollar business. They work because they prey on your emotions, your fears and society’s unbelievable and unattainable standards of beauty. If January is national diet month, then February is love month, with Valentine’s Day and all. But, what if instead of focusing all our love on things, we turned that inwards and focused on self love. Learning how to show yourself love after weight gain is one of the hardest but most rewarding things I learned how to do. I want to share some mindset shifts that really made self love after weight gain possible.

Can you be a Healthy Intuitive Eater?

healthy intuitive eaterAs someone who identifies as an intuitive eater and a Holistic Nutritionist, I have struggled with the idea that the two cannot exist together. Can you be a healthy intuitive eater? If you are immersed in the anti-diet culture and involved in the intuitive eating space, I am sure you have come across numerous posts that talk about eating whatever you want followed by pictures of candy and anything else not labeled as “healthy.” So if I happen not to partake in a lot of this food, does that also mean that I am still immersed in diet culture in some way? I don’t think so, but it can be really confusing to talk about intuitive eating and then only show pictures of smoothie bowls, salads and healthy desserts. So can you be a healthy intuitive eater? Let’s discuss… …

About me

Hi! I’m Jaclyn, a Holistic Nutritionist and foodie. Over the past few years, I have developed a deep appreciation and understanding of food, wellness and self-love.
