Intuitive Eating Essentials.

A Live Online Course to Help You Make Peace with Food and Your Body.

BY Anna Jones, RD.

Are you tired of rigid diets and plans, but not sure what to do instead? Would you like to take the struggle out of eating, find comfort in your body and health on your own terms?

My next live online small group Intuitive Eating course will be offered again soon and I would love for you to join me. Read on to find out more. If you are interested and would like to be added to the waitlist, email me at anna@annajonesrd.com.

Do any of these ring true for you?

Have you tried so many diets you’ve lost count, only to end up right back where you started?
Do you jump from one diet to the next trying to find the one “perfect” plan?
Does the simple act of eating and feeding yourself stress you out?
Do you eat emotionally and often feel out of control with food?
Do you struggle with body image and acceptance of your body as it is right now, today?
Have you heard or read about Intuitive Eating, but aren’t quite sure what it is or simply don’t know how to put it into practice in your own life?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, this course is the right place to start to find some peace with food, eating, and your body and move towards becoming an Intuitive Eater.

Intuitive Eating, The “Un-Diet”

Intuitive Eating is an evidence based approach that provides a different way of thinking about food, our bodies, and our health. It is a framework that helps us let go of the myth of dieting (which leads to deprivation, rebellion, and rebound weight gain). It means learning to trust your body and its signals and honoring your physical, mental, and emotional health. It is about normalizing and healing your relationship with food.

Intuitive Eating takes the focus off of the scale and rules and restrictions and puts it on health-promoting behaviors, improving body image, and finding peace, enjoyment, and satisfaction with food. It is a self-care framework based on ten principles that teaches a different approach to eating and our bodies than the typical diet culture, weight-centered approach that many of us turn to over and over without success.

“It has allowed me to see how body image and culture have affected the way I feel about myself. It’s helped me to understand and grow in my appreciation of my body and what it can do for me.”

“Before this class I had no idea that my body had anything to say about my hunger. I believed it was all in my head. I thought that surely, if I searched long enough I could find the diet that worked for me. All the while everything I needed was within my reach and body. It’s called Intuitive Eating. With IE I found I could free up the diet restrictions, remove the pressure of failed diets and let my body tell me what it needed. What an amazing feeling!”
