Program Overview:
In today's world, countless people face a dieting dilemma. Numerous weight-loss plans claim to be "the best" and consumers eagerly try them to slim down once and for all. However, many achieve short-term success at best and the dieting cycle continues.
But, according to one revolutionary approach, there’s a better path to weight management and a healthy attitude toward food.
Intuitive Eating advocates shedding the diet mentality, making peace with food, and returning to an inborn intuitive way of eating. The approach can help free people from constant dieting, living by rigid "food rules," and using food as an emotional coping tool rather than to satisfy hunger.
Please join Intuitive Eating pioneer, Evelyn Tribole, MS, RD, to explore the research and principals behind this "non-dieting" approach. Intuitive Eating teaches people to create a healthy relationship with food, mind and body, distinguish between physical and emotional feelings, respond to inner body cues, and experience satisfying eating.
Ms. Tribole will discuss the principles of Intuitive Eating, integrating both science and case studies. She will focus on three challenging and sometimes controversial areas:
- Why permission to eat any food is an important component for creating a healthy relationship with food, mind and body.
- How dieting harms a person’s relationship with food, mind and body.
- How to overcome obstacles to intuitive eating: dieting, body dissatisfaction and distraction.
Learning Objectives:
After this presentation, attendees will be able to:
- Describe three evidence-based benefits of intuitive eating.
- List three reasons why having permission to eat any food can improve health.
- Describe two reasons why the dieting process harms a person’s relationship to food and body.
