Americans New Years resolutions often involve dieting not surprising as we rank #35 on the worlds healthiest nation list and can claim obesity as an epidemic.[1] Amongst the most Google searched diets in the last 2 years only one has remained consistently in the top 10: the Noom diet.[2] Its primary source of intrigue? Looking at weight loss from a mind-body perspective, examining food demons and managing stress in order to keep the weight off.[3] At present, theres another holistic approach, resurrected from its debut in 1995 that is gaining traction: Intuitive Eating. But whatever you dodont call it a diet.

Intuitive eating is proudly referred to as a non-diet approach to wellness. One that leans into both body and mind while following simple health-oriented rules: eat when hungry mindful of hunger on a 1 to 10 scale, respect fullness allowing brain and body to sync up before overeating, dont eat your feelings find non-food ways to address them, move exercise, make peace with your choices banishing guilt, and lastly, balance health and nourishment with indulgence to ensure elements of enjoyment and self-care in eating, not solely self-control.[4]

Whats most interesting about intuitive eating is that ittaps into consumer preference. The reality is that U.S. Consumers are significantly more likely to view health and wellness as feeling good about themselves (6 in 10) vs. simply consuming natural, wholesome foods (3 in 10).[5] This indicates that theres more joy in a healthy mindset than in healthy eating. Analysts attribute interest in mind-body approaches to eating as tapping into the growing frustrations many people have with dieting. Americans are sick of the shame and fear around food, and of failure in front of the near-insurmountable odds of long-term weight lossthe lifelong pressure to diet wears people down.[6]

We, as food and beverage marketers, can learn from this. While chasing Diet-X claims for the short-term opportunities they bring, have we missed a bigger and longer-term opportunity to boldly balance our portfolios and messaging with both healthful and indulgent, and uplift the diet-fatigued culture with permissionor even an invitation to know and listen to their own bodies and minds when making food choices?
