Start making peace with food.

Intuitive Eating refers both to the specific 10-principle approach in Evelyn Tribole and Elyse Resch’s books as well as “lower-case” intuitive eating which is a general term similar to “attuned eating” and “mindful eating” (although there are distinctions/nuance there too) and general non-diet or anti-diet resources. Eating disorder information will also be included here.

The Fourth Edition of the Intuitive Eating book by Evelyn Tribole and Elyse Resch will be released in late June, 2020 and is recommended over previous editions. Learn more about the 10 Principles of Intuitive Eating.
