You'll develop trust in your body instead of seeing it as an enemy.

  Woot! You're on your way to eating more intuitively, but there's a couple things to practice. You're making great progress toward knowing the basics of Intuitive Eating. And you're probably wondering why the hell it's not as easy as a diet......and why you're still thinking about food all the time! It's totally normal in this stage to feel like Intuitive Eating requires more thinking than a diet and that diets / restricting food / cleanses / 30 day challenges would just be the magic solution to your frustration.Deep breath, friend. I hear ya. Intuitive eating starts out more challenging and gets easier as you go...unlike diets which starts off easy (yay dopamine and yes / no food lists!!) but ultimately fail. Remember, diets don't work because they go against your natural biology and how your brain works. It's not your fault.You're in the active learning / unlearning phase and it's important to keep implementing. It's going to get easier if you stick with it, I promise. But here's my compassionate tough love: it's gonna take more than a week!Right now is a great to practice these powerful Intuitive Eating habits: 1. Use mindful eating strategies.Connecting with gratitude instead of fear & stress, checking in with your body, and reducing distractions (even by a little bit) have a massive impact when you're shifting away from distracted, autopilot eating. (Check out my Mindful Eating Tool for guidance.)2. Think flexibly about food.Reframing challenging all-or-nothing thinking about food helps you see the grey area and develop a more flexible, resilient mindset that spills over into all areas of your life.3. Let food be satisfying.You've been conditioned by diet culture to think that healthy food is bland and boring...and that you shouldn't allow yourself to have satisfying food experiences. It's counterintuitive, but when food satisfies, you reduce the likelihood of mindless grazing and overeating.Hi 👋 I’m Steph Gaudreau!I’m an Intuitive Eating + Nutritional Therapy expert on a mission to help women stop obsessing about macros & thigh gaps and step into their most badass, powerful selves.We live in a world that convinces us that unless we look and act perfect, we're failing.
