Emily Deans live-tweeting from a Whole 9 workshop today:
you can’t listen to your body until you are consistently eating foods that are good for you.
I wish more intuitive eating programs included this concept.

Excellent!
Yes, I totally agree.
After reading your comment, I looked up intuitive eating in Google and found the following post, which gives a brief summary of the top 10 principles:

The above quote from Emily Deans is especially meaningful for #5 (Respect your fullness), #6 (Discover the satisfaction factor) and #7 (Honor your feelings without using food).
Thanks!
Many years ago, I first heard about the idea intuitive eating-It wasn’t called intuitive eating. It was more or less a philosophy that said “don’t diet. Your body knows what it needs.” I thought that it didn’t make sense; the body of a person who eats junk food every day “may” have a desire for nutritious food, but wouldn’t recognize it. “I’m tired of potato chips. I think I’ll eat some spinach.”
