Think about how many times you heard talk about diets at dinner. How many times did your friends refuse any food, motivating it with the fact that they should not, they are on a diet, they have eaten so much and so on.

Intuitive nutrition is also a kind of diet, the essence of which is to … eat when you want what you want. Unusual for diet, right? Intuitive nutrition helps to normalize relations with food, stop thinking about “forbidden” foods every second, because “forbidden" foods simply cease to exist. The main principle of intuitive nutrition: give the body what it wants, and it will stop bothering you.
The first step in switching to such nutrition should be your realization that diets are useless, any restrictions spoil your mood and lead to even greater breakdowns. Stop scolding yourself for eating "superfluous".
The second step is understanding what you really want. Often the desire to eat something tasty is not hunger, but other emotions, such as boredom, loneliness, anxiety, depression. Do not jam stress, because food will only comfort you for a short time, but will not solve your problems.
The third step is one of the most difficult - accept your body. If after all your hunger strikes and breakdowns, your body returns to the same figure on the scales, then this is your ideal weight. We are all different, and there is nothing shameful in being a little fuller than the models from the cover. If you are still unhappy with yourself, go in for sports. The main thing is to listen to your body, choose only exercises that are comfortable for you, do it with joy, and not because you need to burn calories. Find a sport that you enjoy. What is the point of spoiling the mood with exhausting strength training, if you can just as well swim in the pool or go rollerblading?
The fifth and most important step: approach everything wisely. After long restrictions you may want to eat some cakes, but how will this affect your body? Try to eat more healthy foods, think about how to cook them so that you like to eat them.
Do not be alarmed if, after switching to an intuitive diet, the weight rises, with time the body itself gets rid of all that is superfluous. No matter how slowly you move, the main thing is do not stop!
