    For me was easy losing weight intuitively since I developed my eating habits when I was under controled log of calories, so I just used about the same portions but didn't log and lost weight. If you're happy with your diet you don't easily binge, you don't have much cravings and can develop these habits.

    I have, but only after I've honed my "intuition" to be calorie-aware, through a full year of tracking on MFP. It helps me make the right choice when hungry - to reach for the "right" food, not the one I crave. I still log but only very roughly; been maintaining/losing slowly for 4 months.

    I sure did get FAT with intuitive eating :) If intuitive eating was a thing, 60% of western society wouldn't be overweight or obese.

    Alot of us sit back in our chair saying "god im stuffed" but that pizza looks so good...wiggle a bit to "get it down" and reach for the last piece because yummy. And then go for dessert. Thats why were obese.

    I maintained my weight for 4 years by eating intuitively, and it was a huge help in overcoming the binge/restrict stuff I was doing prior to that. I'm now tracking calories again to lose weight I gained in a 2 year overseas posting, but I still use many of the principles of IE while I'm losing.

    My intuitive switch is broken. That's why I am here.
