Hello group!
Since giving birth to my son about 8 months ago I have been focusing on intuitive eating. I have lost the 40 pounds I gained during pregnancy plus more! I educated myself on nutrition so I know what kind of healthy choices to make and I have been able to stick to this because I am simply not over complicating things anymore. I do enjoy pizza, candy and or wine on occasion if I feel like I want it. I workout for 23 a minutes a day, 6 days a week. I personally enjoy running so on occasion I will add in a run in place of my workout or sometimes in addition to it if I feel like it. I have allowed my body to lead me to health and it feels so good. I just wanted to share something that is working for me and gives me the freedom I have been searching for.If you need a buddy or want some more information on the details of what I do, please reach out

What the heck is intuitive eating? Basically eating what you want when you want it?
My body has *kitten* for brains. I would never trust it.18 -
Congrats, that's awesome!
Intuitive eating can be such a struggle. I hope to get to where you are soon! I'm very close to reaching my goal and I'd like to be able to maintain without calorie counting.2 -
i can maintain and eat (mostly) intuitively but to lose? aint no way in hell.
i ate intuitively for most of my life and blew up to 280 pounds. lolololol7 -
Just out of curiosity...why 23 minutes of exercise? Just seems like such a random amount of time.6

yeah intuitive eating got me here
my intuition is wrong9 -
Intrigued. I know my body / intuition / God often pulls me to things that are good for me.Even supplements or foods or activities or exercises I didn't know anything about, so I am very interested in your experience!
Thanks for sharing.4 -
While I'm intuitive about some things, eating is not one of them. Glad it has worked for you! Congrats on the loss so far!4

I'm guessing the 23 minutes is like a HIIT workout, or a Beachbody type thing0

I'm wondering this too. And it would explain why OP asked to be contacted for more details. That's a red flag that there's a sales pitch coming at some point.
ETA: Also she only has 2 comments under her name and is already offering to tell people how she's having success with a system that's not part of the community she's posting in. And she hasn't come back to answer any questions indicting that she's not actually interesting in telling her story to the group but wants to be contacted privately. Separate the newbies from the rest of the group. Classic prospecting for leads.13 -

good point - I ignored the typical signs1 -
My life was made up of eating intuitively and intuitively sitting and watching tv. Didn't work out so great for me.3

I was bit by a radioactive sloth and my intuition has been replaced by Slothy Sense. It doesn't do me much good since I live in a small low crime town. I can move at a super slow speed though.5

I didn’t get the intuition gene. Glad some are happy with what works for them.1

My intuition is broken. It always tells me to hit the nearest all-you-can-eat sushi bar and make them deeply regret their sales model.6

Said: "If you need a buddy or want some more information on the details of what I do, please reach out . . . ."
" . . . because if I tell you what I'm selling right here in my post, that would be a TOS problem." <== Unsaid, but obvious.
Nope, nope, nope.

That is a big goal of me. With intuitive eating they say that your body was naturally meant to be a certain weight so by listening to your hunger cues, eating only when hungry and eating until you are satisfied will automatically lead to weight loss/maintenance.

Intuitive eating does exist though lol0 -
I think intuitive eating helps with people who struggle with feeling like they always
have to count calories in order to maintain or lose weight but still
end up hungry or not satisfied. Doing some research I've
learned that some doctors may recommend this method for people who have eating
disorders and eat "too little" instead of eating just enough to avoid weight gain or other
health issues.0
