About this episode

This episode discusses intuitive eating and how to engage with food without the constraints of diet culture.

About 45 million Americans go on a diet every year. But what if there were a different way to engage with food, without so many rules? Intuitive eating, the practice of following your hunger cues, is all about rejecting diet culture, guilt and shame. On this episode of On Nutrition, registered dietitian Sam Previte shares the 10 principles of intuitive eating, exercises to examine your relationship with food and how to tap into your hunger and fullness cues.
