Federal prosecutors charged a kinesiologist and naturopathic therapist from Texas on Wednesday with providing performance-enhancing drugs to athletes competing in the Tokyo Olympics, including a sprinter who was banned from the Games last summer.

Eric Lira, 41, of El Paso, is the first person charged under a federal anti-doping act signed into law in December 2020, the U.S. Attorneys Office for the Southern District of New York said in a press release.

Lira is charged with providing banned drugs, including human growth hormone and bacteriostatic (a masking agent), to the athletes, starting in November 2020. Among those was a track and field star, identified only as Athlete 1 in the federal complaint.

At a moment that the Olympic Games offered a poignant reminder of international connections in the midst of a global pandemic that had separated communities and counties for over a year Eric Lira schemed to debase the moment by peddling illegal drugs, U.S. Attorney for the Southern District Damian Williams said in a statement.

The promise of the Olympic Games is a global message of unification. Today, this office sends a strong message to those who would taint the Games and seek to profit from that corruption.

Athlete 1 was not identified, but federal prosecutors said the athlete was banned from running in the 100-meter semifinals at the Olympics.

Nigerian track star Blessing Okagbare, one of the favorites in the event, was banned from further competition after testing positive for HGH at the same time as Athlete 1.

Investigators said Lira got the drugs from Mexico and South America.

He is charged with one count each of international sports doping and misbranding conspiracy because prosecutors said the drugs were allegedly mislabeled to defraud and mislead authorities.

Lira lists himself as a managing member of Med Sports LLC, but is not licensed as a therapist in Texas, Florida or New York, the complaint said.

According to the complaint, Athlete 1 reached out to Lira on Nov. 17, 2020, and requested that Lira provide her with 4 vials or doses of honey, which federal investigators said is code for human growth hormone.

The request came months before the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, which were delayed a year due to the COVID-19 pandemic and were held in 2021 instead.

In a text message in April 2021, Lira allegedly told Athlete 1, I will send you the 2 honeys an [sic] 4 bac water, referring to bacteriostatic water, used to dilute injected medications, the complaint said.

In June 2021, Athlete 1 wrote Lira and told him, I just sent you $2,500, can you confirm it via Zelle? And also remember I told you [a second unnamed athlete] had hurt his hamstring, so anything that will help the hamstring really fast you can actually bring it as well, ok?

In another exchange, Athlete 1 wrote Lira about having just run the 100 meters in 10.63 seconds.

Eric my body feel so good, the athlete wrote. Whatever you did is working so well.

But Athlete 1 ran into trouble in July after testing positive, the feds said.

Call me urgently, the athlete messaged Lira on July 30, 2021. [T]hey said one of my result came out positive on HGH I dont understand.

According to the federal complaint, investigators also got tipped off about PEDs in the Jacksonville, Fla., home of a person referred to as Athlete 2 in July 2021, including a box of 100 hypodermic needles and IGF (insulin-like growth factor).

Lira faces up to 10 years in prison if convicted. He was taken into custody Wednesday and was expected to be in Texas federal court later in the day.

Lira is charged with violating the Rodchenkov Anti-Doping Act, which was signed into law on Dec. 4, 2020.

The 2022 Baseball Hall of Fame writers ballot might very well be the most fascinating and polarizing such referendum in the museums history. This week, ahead of the results being announced Jan. 25, The Posts Ken Davidoff will break down the many issues and debates in play before revealing his ballot.

Rule 5 used to be the Baseball Hall of Fame equivalent of a Brood X cicada, emerging every 17 years or so to prompt a discussion about a specific candidate and his foibles before disappearing once again.

Now, Rule 5 stands as ubiquitous as the mosquito. Thanks a lot, steroids.

Rule 5, in the Baseball Writers Association of Americas rules for election, reads, Voting shall be based upon the players record, playing ability, integrity, sportsmanship, character, and contributions to the team(s) on which the player played.

Its that integrity, sportsmanship and character trio (some overlap there) that has thrown the Hall into uncharted chaos, with this 2022 writers ballot set to close some doors while opening others. All those doors lead right back to illegal performance-enhancing drugs, the issue that has defined this process since Mark McGwire became eligible in 2007, many of his critics contending that he lacked those three overlapping qualities, and shows no hope of abating.

To the contrary, time has only muddied the matter, the games evolving rules on illegal performance-enhancing drugs creating subclasses of suspects. Consider that a certain tier of players headlined by Jeff Bagwell, Mike Piazza and Ivan Rodriguez overcame whispers of illegal PED usage due to a lack of evidence beyond the eye test (and the subsequent raised eyebrows) to gain the 75 percent support necessary for election.

Lets break down the other subclasses, none of which has hit that 75 percent threshold. Some players raised enough hell to gain entry into multiple groups; here, they have been assigned to the demographic that arguably damns them the most.

McGwire, when he joined the Cardinals coaching staff in 2010, admitted that he used steroids during his record-breaking home run (70) season in 1998. He didnt fare particularly well prior to that disclosure, topping out at 23.7 percent in 10 (doubts loomed about both the authenticity of his accomplishments and their worthiness) and did even worse in the subsequent six years, additionally coming up small in a Todays Game Era Committee tally.

Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens came aboard in 2013 and have seen their votes move in virtual lockstep Bonds hit a new high last year with 61.8 percent, Clemens with 61.6 percent for good reason: The two all-time greats both saw government agents capture their purported suppliers, although the feds nevertheless couldnt convict either legend. This year marks their last chance on the writers ballot.

Sammy Sosa, also on his last chance, peaked last year at 17 percent, a far cry from induction. He allegedly failed his 2003 survey test, yet its possible his most indicting moment occurred when he pretended to not speak English competently at the infamous 2005 Congressional hearings on illegal PEDs in baseball.

Gary Sheffield said in 2004 that he had unknowingly used the cream, an illegal PED manufactured by BALCO and given to him by Bonds during the 2001-02 offseason. He surged to 40.6 percent last year and has three years to go.

Andy Pettitte confirmed the Mitchell Reports findings that he used human growth hormone in 2002 and later acknowledged using it again in 2004, at which point players were tested for steroids but not HGH. He climbed to 13.7 percent last year, his third year on the ballot.

Rafael Palmeiro became the first high-profile casualty of the testing era, which began in 04, when a 2005 sample came back positive. He lasted only four years on the ballot, his 4.4 percent showing in 2014 falling below the 5 percent necessary to stay on the ballot.

When Manny Ramirez failed a test in 2011, it marked his third skirmish with illegal PEDs, as he reportedly tested positive in the 2003 survey and drew a suspension in 2009 for a non-analytical positive. This will be his sixth go-round on the ballot.

A non-analytical positive is a conviction with evidence not gleaned from the actual drug test. Thats how Major League Baseball nabbed Alex Rodriguez in 2013, courtesy of the text messages between him and Biogenesis founder Anthony Bosch that Bosch provided and verified. A-Rod also admitted to using illegal PEDs with the Rangers from 2001 through 2003 and reportedly failed the 03 survey test. A-Rod is a debutant at this dance and has about 40 percent of public-ballot support as per Ryan Thibodaux.

David Ortiz put up most of his numbers in the testing era and never came back positive except during that 03 survey test, which was used as a baseline to determine whether discipline-infused testing was necessary (it was) and supposed to be anonymous. The slugger has asserted his innocence, and commissioner Rob Manfred has defended Ortiz as well, saying his result could have been a false positive. Ortiz, joining A-Rod as a ballot freshman, has started strong and could be elected in his first try, which would be a significant milestone for those linked to illegal PEDs.

Hara hachi bump up your weight loss. "Hara hachi bu is the practice of eating to only 80% of fullness," explains Bill Bradley, RD, author of Foods of Crete, Traditional Recipes from the Healthiest People in the World (with Koula Barydakis), who lost 50 pounds with simple weight loss habits.

"My habit was to feel slightly hungry throughout the day, just a very slight hunger. This improved my energy and made me feel confident that I was doing the right thing to lose weight. I thought it was going to be a hard habit, but it turned out to be one of the easiest. The key here is not counting calories, but to have a habit of not overeating," he continues, citing this research.

If you're a breakfast skipper, you may want to rethink your habit. "If you wait too long in the morning, your body will go into starvation mode and store any extra calories as fat instead of burning them for energy," says Smith.

An apple a day really does go a long way. In fact, Bradley employed the apple as his "secret weapon" in his weight loss push. "Before losing weight, I had a habit of eating something sweet in the afternoon (often peanut M&M's or some sort of milk chocolate)," he recalls.

Then, apples came into the picture: "I would buy the crunchiest, sweetest apples I could find. In the afternoon or whenever I felt a hunger pang, I would eat an apple. This has worked for years and is an amazing and simple way to lose weight," he elaborates, noting a PLoS Medicine study.

Time to employ a little psychology into meal-time, friends. "This trick will trick your brain into thinking that you have eaten more than what you actually did," says Smith. While you're at it, you may want to consider eating off of plates that aren't whitefind out why, and more sneaky weight loss tips that actually work here.

We're talking about a way of eating that you can maintain in the long-haul, dear readers. "As a registered dietitian who specializes in weight loss, there is one thing I hear almost every day. People tell me about their successful diet and how they lost weight, but then they tell me they fell off the wagon and then gained all the weight back," offers Bradley.

"An easy way to lose weight and keep it off is to eat a healthy diet that will help you lose and maintain weight," he elaborates, praising the research-backed Mediterranean Diet, the easy and delectable eating plan that helped him lose 50 pounds and keep it off for five years and counting.

Losing weight is a great step toward a potentially healthier lifestyle, however, keeping it off is the ultimate goal for many people who opt to make changes to their diet and routine. If sustainable weight loss is something that you want to achieve, then it's important to ignore fads and instead stick to a few key habits, according to one expert.

"If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is," says Cory Ruth, who is an RDN, Women's Health & PCOS Expert, and the CEO of The Women's Dietitian. "The problem with a lot of trendy, fad diets right now is that they're incredibly restrictive. Yes, you may lose 10 pounds in 2 weeks by dropping all carbs, but the moment you even look at a slice of bread, all that weight (and maybe more) is going to come piling back on."

"Weight loss needs to be sustainable over time," adds Ruth, "and it needs to come in the form of healthy, long-term habits. Losing weight at a slower pace can help you keep it off for now and for life."

When it comes to sustainable weight loss, Ruth suggests the following three steps as the best things you can do to achieve long-lasting results. Keep reading for her tips, and for more, check out 8 Things You Must Know Before Trying to Lose Belly Fat.

When it comes to how much you're eating, Ruth explains, "Staying in a calorie deficit is critical to weight loss, so knowing how many calories you need to be eating consistently to be in that deficit is key. Calorie tracking with something like MyFitnessPal is not necessary, but it's super helpful to help us figure out how to better navigate correct portion control."

Enjoying a meal out at a restaurant can be a nice way to treat yourself, however, it might not be something that you want to do too often if you want to keep excess weight off.

"[Eat] the majority of your meals and snacks in your own kitchen," Ruth says. "When we eat out, we inevitably take in more calories, fat, and sugar. Being the one in control of what and how much of an ingredient goes into your food is a foolproof way to eat better for weight management."

What you eat is just as important as how much you're consuming and where, says Ruth. That's why you should aim to "fill up half your plate with low-starch vegetables, one-quarter protein, and a small serving of carbs."

As Ruth explains, "This 'plate method' is one way too easily and visually balance your plate for better weight control."

Leptin is a hormone that comes from fat cells. It helps control food intake by sending signals about hunger to the hypothalamus in the brain. This process regulates appetite.

Leptin regulates energy levels by maintaining a balance between hunger and appetite. The hormone triggers the body to respond by eating more when energy levels are low and eating less when energy levels are stable or high.

People who have high levels of body fat have high circulating levels of leptin.

Research shows that having elevated leptin levels can lead to leptin resistance, making weight loss difficult.

This article looks at what the leptin hormone is, what the leptin diet involves, and the advantages and disadvantages of following the leptin diet.

Scientists discovered leptin, a protein that functions as a hormone, in 1994.

Leptin is one of the main hormones responsible for maintaining body weight. Leptin helps people balance how much food they consume by regulating hunger levels. The hormone also controls how much energy a person uses throughout each day.

Leptin comes from fat cells within the body. It enters the blood supply and travels up to the brain. The hormone must cross the blood-brain barrier, a membrane that protects the brain from harmful toxins, to get to the hypothalamus. The hypothalamus is the area in the middle of the brain that controls hormone regulation, among other important functions.

At the hypothalamus, leptin can function by signaling that the body does not need any more food. This response causes the person to feel full. If leptin levels are low, or leptin does not reach the hypothalamus, a person will continue to feel hungry.

Leptin regulates body weight and is an important marker for energy storage. This means if the body has excess energy stored as fat, leptin signals the hypothalamus to reduce appetite and burn excess body fat for fuel. This response helps a person maintain a moderate body weight.

However, when a person has high amounts of body fat, they can develop a resistance to leptin, which leads to abnormally high leptin levels.

Having leptin levels that are too low is less common. Low leptin levels can occur in severe childhood obesity and delayed puberty.

When leptin levels are below average, the brain thinks no body fat is present. This reduced level can cause symptoms of uncontrollable hunger, resulting in excessive food intake. Leptin injections are a way of reducing this problem.

After scientists discovered the hormone in 1994, Byron J. Richards created a diet named after it: the leptin diet.

The goal of the leptin diet is to return leptin levels to normal and create balance within the body. The leptin diet has five main principles:

The leptin diet permits most types of food, but guidelines suggest avoiding chemical additives and processed sugars and sticking to fresh and organic produce.

The leptin diet encourages other lifestyle changes, such as getting plenty of sleep and participating in regular physical activity.

A 2021 study suggests that diets high in fat, carbohydrates, fructose, and sucrose and low in protein are drivers of leptin resistance. The researchers concluded that leptin resistance might be reversible by reducing calories.

However, this research has some limitations, such as small sample sizes, so further evidence is required to verify these claims.

The leptin diet includes limiting snacking and shortening your daily eating window. If a person reduces how much they snack, this could create a calorie deficit necessary for weight loss.

A leptin diet is a sensible approach to weight loss for some people, as the diet promotes eating healthily without harsh restrictions but encourages a routine.

However, at present, no studies are investigating the effects of the leptin diet on weight loss and leptin levels.

It is important to remember that all bodies are different, and a diet that meets the nutritional demands of one person will not always work for someone else.

For example, limiting the number of meals to three per day and cutting out snacking may be effective for a person with a low activity level. However, it is unlikely to meet the energy demands of a person who leads an active lifestyle, exercises intensely, or has a physically demanding job.

Many factors can impact energy needs, including age, pregnancy, breastfeeding, and certain medical conditions.

A person should consider consulting a healthcare professional like a registered dietitian if they are interested in improving health through dietary changes.

Increasing research suggests that obesity causes people to develop leptin resistance.

When someone carries an excessive amount of body fat, they will have too much leptin circulating in the blood. This excess results in that person becoming leptin-resistant. This resistance means their brain stops responding to the leptin signals traveling up to it. It also means their body continues to produce leptin, contributing to elevated leptin and leptin resistance.

Research suggests that weight loss and energy-restricted diets may help reverse leptin resistance.

Leptin is the hormone that controls appetite. Leptin informs the brain when a person has eaten enough, reducing appetite, and produces hunger signals when a person requires energy.

As with any weight loss plan, a person should approach the leptin diet with caution. The diet may be effective for some people, but it may not meet the nutritional demands of every person. Check with a doctor before starting any significant weight loss diet.

The PreBabe clinical trial is looking for 2,200 women to take part over the next three years, building on promising data from a recent pilot study.

Women living in Sydney or Newcastle with overweight or obesity (BMI>25), aged 18 to 40 and thinking of becoming pregnant in the near future are encouraged to register their interest.

Participating women will be offered a free 10-week weight loss program as part of the trial under COVID-19 safe conditions.

PreBabe will test two different approaches to losing weight prior to pregnancy to see which has the best short- and long-term results for women and their babies.Both weight loss programs are safe, supported by a clinical team, and designed to be followed for 10 weeks prior to trying to get pregnant.

Professor Adrienne Gordon from the University of Sydney Faculty of Medicine and Health and the Charles Perkins Centre is leading the PreBabe study. She said preconception health is a critical timepoint in both a womans health, and that of her babys.

One in two women in Australia start their pregnancy journey above a healthy weight, Professor Gordon said.

While you can have a higher BMI (body mass index) and be very healthy, carrying extra weight at the start of a pregnancy can be associated with complications in pregnancy such as high blood pressure, diabetes, miscarriage, preterm birth and caesarean delivery.

Losing weight before trying to get pregnant may help you to conceive, and is also safer than trying to lose weight during pregnancy, which is not recommended.

Our aim is to assist women to lose weight and build healthier lifestyles in a supportive environment within a clinical setting. This will provide metabolic health benefits and they may be more likely to fall pregnant.

It's possible that babies and children may also be healthier, as research has shown that mothers having a BMI over 25 doubles the risk of having a big baby, which increases the risk of complications during childbirth, and obesity in childhood.

We need around 750 women each year over the next three years, so if youre thinking about trying for a baby in the near future and would like to be involved, please get in touch, Professor Gordon said.

Aedin ni Dhiomasaigh took part in the pre-trial before conceiving her second child and said it was a positive experience that helped her lose weight and get her health on track.

It was a very positive experience and Ive had a beautiful healthy boy after a very healthy pregnancy, said the 42 year old midwife from Earlwood.

Id really recommend any women who are considering pregnancy or getting pregnant again and want to lose some weight and get their health on track to get in touch with the PreBabe study and get involved, she said.

The trial is a partnership with five maternity hospitals: Royal Prince Alfred Hospital, the Royal Hospital for Women, Nepean Hospital, Westmead Hospital, and John Hunter Hospital.

The multidisciplinary team includes experts in obstetrics, fetal medicine, midwifery, newborn care, epidemiology, weight loss and nutrition.

There's good news on the horizon for those who may be trying to lose weight this year. According to the newly released report on the Best Diets in 2022 from US News, you can achieve weight loss in a flexible, non-restrictive way.

This is because the report's winner for the Best Weight Loss Diet for 2022 is the Flexitarian diet, an easier and more usable version of a standard vegetarian diet.

We wanted to learn more about what it's like to follow the Flexitarian diet and its health benefits, so we talked with expert Kim Rose, RD for food tracking app Lose It!.

"Living Flexitarian is enjoying low-calorie plant foods and the occasional animal protein, which still allows you to see changes in your weight, so this dietary option is a total win-win," says Rose.

If you follow a vegetarian diet, you most likely avoid eating meat at all times. The Flexitarian diet is similar, but it takes a more flexible approach. Essentially the individual on this diet would eat mostly plant-based items, with meat-based products on occasion.

In her book, The Flexitarian Diet, Dawn Jackson Blatner says that a diet largely consisting of plants with smaller portions of meat can help lower risk of heart disease, cancer, and diabetes.

If you're someone who wanted to try this diet, Rose suggests stocking up on certain foods. "You'd want to make sure you have plenty of whole grains, fruits, vegetables, beans, legumes, nuts, and seeds, because these are all high in fiber, low in calories, and do many wonderful things for the body such as keeping you full for a longer period of time and helping with satiety."

Not only does this diet allow for more fiber and more feelings of satiety, which both help significantly with weight loss, but it allows for more freedom and less restriction.

"Let's face the fact that diets can be hard to maintain, which is especially true if you're advised to avoid specific foods or food groups in order to lose weight," says Rose, "and cravings from this restriction can lead to the overindulgence of the very foods you were trying to avoid."

She concludes with this: "Instead of holding out, you may find greater success losing weight using a Flexitarian diet because it provides the best of both worlds, allowing you to eat a vegetarian diet on the days you desire to, and eat animal protein on the days you're craving it."

Food freedom its a complex term, with definitions ranging from ditching diet culture and restrictive diets to attaining good health and food security through growing your own foods.

Its marketed as an approach to address eating disorders for some and as a way to promote intentional weight loss for others.

However, in the health and wellness space, its an emerging, revolutionary concept that challenges societal norms of dieting and the thin ideal.

It is championed by passionate health professionals and game-changers, such as Shana Spence (@thenutritiontea). Spence is a registered dietitian who takes a non-diet, weight-inclusive approach to health.

She uses her platform to redefine what health means distinct from the diet industrys often-unattainable standards.

Another powerful and passionate food freedom champion is Dr. Kera Nyemb-Diop (@black.nutritionist), who has created a space that emphasizes body respect, eating without guilt, and reclaiming your cultural food heritage as an integral part of your healthy lifestyle.

In this article, we explore food freedom, explain what intuitive eating and mindful eating are, and discuss what roles if any they may have in the pursuit of intentional weight loss.

The food freedom framework has various definitions and applications, including but not limited to (1, 2):

In other contexts, food freedom refers to ditching dieting culture and restrictive diets by giving yourself permission to enjoy all foods in moderation (unless allergies or medical needs prevent you from eating certain foods).

In that application of food freedom, practitioners see food as more than just fuel. They seek to build a positive and judgment-free relationship with all foods, where guilt is not considered an ingredient in the eating experience.

This view of food freedom encompasses intuitive eating and mindful eating, two philosophies that cultivate self-trust around food choices and reject unnecessary restrictions.

Intuitive eating and mindful eating are often used to support recovery from eating disorders such as anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa, chronic mental illnesses that negatively affect nutritional status and your relationship with food (3, 4, 5).

Overall, food freedom can help people overcome diet culture or introduce flexibility for intentional weight loss.

Because the varied and overlapping marketing of the term food freedom may lead to some confusion, context matters. This article will focus on food freedom as a non-diet approach to health and nutrition.

The term food freedom has various definitions, including ditching diet culture and cultivating self-trust around food choices. The food freedom approach has been used to support both eating disorder recovery and some intentional weight loss programs.

Food freedom as a therapeutic approach for eating disorder recovery grew out of the need for non-pharmaceutical treatments that emphasize behavioral changes, such as a positive body image and healthy eating attitudes (3, 6).

A 2017 study demonstrated that dieting accompanied by body dissatisfaction and the pursuit of thinness increases the risk of developing bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder, and purging disorder (7).

Even dieting among inherently lean individuals increases their risk of developing anorexia nervosa (7).

The multibillion-dollar diet industry promotes the thin ideal with unhealthy weight management behaviors, potentially encouraging disordered eating patterns that can contribute to the development of eating disorders (7, 8).

Theres evidence that dieting doesnt help those who are seeking long-term weight loss, either.

Weight regain within 15 years is common among chronic dieters, and approximately 33% of dieters regain more weight than they initially lost (8).

Dieting restrictions contribute to disordered eating. Food freedom, on the other hand, seeks to combat this (5).

Food freedom as a mindfulness-based practice may address disordered eating, including emotional eating and binge eating disorder. It can also help you avoid eating in response to external cues, such as the sight or smell of foods, when youre not physically hungry (6, 9).

In particular, intuitive eating is associated with improved psychological well-being and physical health and fewer dietary restrictions (5, 10).

Food freedom arose from the need for behavior-change approaches emphasizing positive body image and healthy eating attitudes instead of dieting restrictions. It can support folks in recovery from disordered eating or clinical eating disorders.

Although these three terms are often used interchangeably, you may wonder whether they are essentially the same. There are minor distinctions among their presiding principles.

For instance, mindful eating is rooted in the Buddhist practice of mindfulness and living with awareness and intention (11, 12).

Its a meditative practice that is built on the mind-body connection and fosters a state of nonjudgmental awareness that engages your senses sight, smell, taste, and feel during a meal (11, 12).

Mindful eating is the art of being present while you eat.

Similarly, intuitive eating nurtures a mind-body connection, but its distinctively rooted in a weight-inclusive approach to health and serves as the core of the Health at Every Size paradigm (10).

Intuitive eating is guided by 10 principles, including respecting your body, rejecting diet culture, making peace with food, and honoring health through gentle nutrition.

Food freedom, however, isnt so well defined. It may represent true forms of intuitive eating or mindful eating, or it may attempt to bridge gaps between intentional weight loss, caloric restriction, and increased flexibility with food.

Despite these differences, there is a common thread among the three terms: They all seek to reduce unnecessary dietary restrictions and improve your relationship with food.

They aim to remove prospects of guilt, shame, and negative emotions associated with consuming forbidden or bad foods.

The terms food freedom, intuitive eating, and mindful eating may be used interchangeably, but there are differences among these practices. However, they all seek to reduce dieting restrictions and increase flexibility.

Food freedom, when used as a non-diet approach to health, seeks to liberate you from the thin ideal and diet culture, unsafe weight loss or weight management behaviors, and yo-yo dieting.

Whether you choose to adopt a meditative approach with mindful eating or work through the 10 principles of intuitive eating, freedom from restriction and judgment is possible.

Here are some tips:

Food freedom as a non-diet approach to nutrition includes tuning in to your internal cues of fullness and hunger, removing morality from foods, and focusing on health-promoting behaviors rather than the scale.

Intentional weight loss is the active attempt to change your body weight, with the goal of lowering the number on the scale.

Although studies show that intuitive eating is associated with weight loss and a lower body mass index (BMI), at its core, intuitive eating is not a weight loss method (10).

A true intuitive eating program would not advertise weight loss as an outcome, since some people may lose weight while others may gain or maintain weight.

Intuitive eating allows your body to find its happy weight, or biologically determined set point weight.

Likewise, the fundamental principles of mindful eating are not focused on weight loss though some weight loss programs have co-opted its messages of mindfulness (11).

Other programs work to bridge the gap by focusing on health-promoting habits while instituting small calorie deficits that promote slow-paced weight loss without completely avoiding pleasurable foods that might not be nutrient-dense or low in calories.

The principles of intuitive eating and mindful eating dont focus on intentional weight loss, although weight loss, gain, or maintenance may occur when you adopt them. Instead, they focus on allowing your body to reach its happy, natural weight.

Food freedom is a highly marketed term with various definitions, ranging from overcoming diet culture and restrictive diets to engaging in food sovereignty. Therefore, context matters.

As a non-diet approach to nutrition, food freedom includes tuning in to your internal cues of fullness and hunger, decoupling foods and morality, and focusing on health-promoting behaviors not just the scale.

At their core, intuitive eating and mindful eating principles dont focus on or promote intentional weight loss. Rather, they help you discover and engage in health-promoting habits that may lead to weight loss, gain, or maintenance.

These frameworks help people foster positive relationships with foods and their bodies that are built on self-trust and self-compassion rather than on the thin ideal.
