    I love the idea of intuitive eating but the living it out...yeah, I fall flat on my face every time. I do great tracking and 95% of the time have no problem staying at or just under my daily calorie goal, but any time I have decided to eat intuitively I suddenly intuit my body needs the entire pint of ice cream and a few cookies to go with it. 🤣

    For me, intuitive eating could be learned. It is eating what you know you should and stopping when you know you're full..and not eating mindlessly or emotionally, or for sport. which is what most of us did to get here.

    My intuitive eating experiment led me to my highest ever weight with no signs of rate of gain tapering off.
    Calorie counting helped me lose weight.
    Eating mindfully to my needs and without calorie counting enables me to maintain long term.

    My son is a true intuitive eater, eats very erratically to his hunger and varied needs but maintains at a healthy weight.
