To say that Intuitive Eating is a way to lose weight is a bit of an oxymoron. This eating practice originally comes from the book Intuitive Eating: A Revolutionary Program that Works by Elyse Resch and Evelyn Tribole, and it encourages each person to focus less on dieting and focus more on their body's hunger and fullness signals. It requires complete honesty of your body's needs around when you're actually hungry to eat and when you are not. The program was written to be a solution in helping chronic dieters free themselves from restrictive eating practices and learn how to actually nourish their bodies by making peace with food.

So can someone really lose weight while practicing Intuitive Eating? Many dietitians point out how intuitively eating can help create healthier relationships around food that are free of emotionswhich tends to be a large contributor to weight gain. Multiple studies have shown how turning to food as an emotional comfort can lead to weight gain over time. By eliminating this type of emotional dependence and making peace with food, it's easier to properly nourish your body. Intuitive eating helps you to focus on your hunger and fullness, instead of letting your emotions control your eating habits.

Here's what these dietitians had to say about Intuitive Eating practices, and for even more healthy eating tips, be sure to check out our list of the 100 Easiest Recipes You Can Make.

Wait, isn't this article about how Intuitive Eating helps you lose weight? It can be a common misconception to turn this popular eating program into a weight loss solution. However, Intuitive Eating works because weight loss isn't the main goal. Instead, the main goal is all about truly listening to your body's needs, dissociating emotions with food, and nourishing your body properly.

"Unfortunately, many influencers unsurprisingly have co-opted this non-diet approach into a tool to pursue weight loss. This is misinformation that goes completely against what intuitive eating is about," says Katherin Kimber, RD, Director of Nude Nutrition, and a certified Intuitive Eating counselor. "Intuitive Eating is not a weight-loss tool or diet. It is not intended for this use. Rather, it's a tool to improve health behaviors and to focus on the things you can control, letting weight settle in its natural and healthy place for you."

Intuitive Eating steps aside from the toxic dieting belief that losing weight is the solution for health, and instead, gives the proper tools for others to learn how to nourish their bodies well.

Here's A Beginner's Guide to Intuitive Eating.

One of the most prominent ways Intuitive Eating teaches others how to listen to their body's hunger and fullness cues is by helping people break free of attaching emotions to their food.

"Intuitive Eating is an evidence-based approach designed to help people break out of a negative relationship with food," says Kimber. "Researchers have identified that intuitive eaters tend to be less preoccupied with food, have less disordered and emotional eating, have less stress, better body image and tend to have a lower BMI."

"Intuitive Eating is not meant to be a weight loss diet or lifestyle. Instead, it's a self-care framework that takes emotion, instinct, and rational thought into consideration when making food choices and caring for one's body," says Sarah Schlichter, MPH, RDN of Bucket List Tummy. "Some of the reasons for weight changes (in either direction) with intuitive eating are because people improve their relationship with food, leading to fewer binges, choose more filling and satisfying foods leading to less incessant snacking, and not going too long without eating, leading to better blood sugar levels, energy, and more mindful choices."

Schlichter specifically points out that your weight may change in either direction. Meaning you could lose some initial weight as you learn healthier eating habits, but you could also gain weight if your unhealthy eating habits involved massive food restriction.

"You learn to pay attention to hunger and fullness signals to guide your eating rather than allowing external triggers (a food advertisement, candy on the desk, stress) to influence eating," says Brenda Braslow, RD, MS with MyNetDiary. "You learn to eat when you are hungry, but not allow yourself to become ravenous and to stop eating when you are comfortably satisfied, not uncomfortably stuffed."

Braslow also points out that over time, this type of honesty around your hunger can even lead you to make healthier nutritional choices for your meals.

"When tuning into your body, you learn that eating healthy, wholesome foods helps you to feel better," says Braslow. "You also notice that poor food choices make you feel sluggish or that overeating may give you a stomach ache. Intuitive eating focuses on enjoying foods in a positive way to nourish your body rather than relying on a restrictive dieting approach."

Theresa Gentile, MS, RDN, owner of Full Plate Nutrition and media spokesperson for the New York State Dietetic Association, says that practicing to intuitively eat by properly listening to your body's hunger and fullness signals can actually help you build respect for your body over time.

"If you can accept, respect, and even love your body, you're more likely to ditch self-criticism which only leads to negative self-talk and destructive behaviors," says Gentile. "Instead, when you recognize your beauty from within and can appreciate your body for the machine that it is, you can focus on more healthful behaviors rather than drown in negative body image."

Here are 20 Ways to Have a More Positive Body Image.

Intuitive Eating encourages people to focus on how their physical body feels in all circumstances. When are you really hungry to eat? Are you full and should you stop eating? What are the foods that actually make you physically feel your best long after you eat them?

This type of practice requires complete honesty from the eater, allowing that person to be fully honest with themselves. For example, what foods make you feel sluggish after? What are the foods that actually energize you?

"Prioritizing how your body feels, and deciding from there which foods to eat and in what portions, is a good way to go," says Rachel Paul PhD, RD from CollegeNutritionist.com. "Instead of thinking of adding healthy choices as 'restriction', think about new changes as creating a structure that you feel good aboutwith foods and meals you both like the taste of, and keep your body feeling its best."

However, while the practice of Intuitive Eating does encourage others to eat foods that feel good for their body, that hasn't stopped social media influencers from taking it a step further, promoting eating practices that may not be as healthy.

"I believe the book actually gets this right, but many Intuitive Eating promoters on social media tend to say things like 'if you have a craving you should always honor it'and that actually isn't always true," says Paul.

Paul points out that just because you have an urge to do something doesn't always mean you have to do it. She recommends to her clients to breathe through the craving and see if their bodies really want it first. Even turning back to those questions can help: Am I actually hungry for this? Why am I eating this food? Will this food make me feel energized or sluggish?

There is no concrete scientific evidence that shows dieting and food restriction actually work for weight loss long term. But that hasn't stopped many weight loss programs from promoting their productsand hasn't stopped customers from buying and believing in them. This type of restrictive dieting practice can lead to yo-yo dieting, causing chronic dieters to go from periods of serious restriction to overeating in order to compensate for the lack of calories. (Here are10 Ways To Stop Yo-Yo Dieting)

The best way to lose weight is to stop dieting at alleven doctors say so. That's why the practice of Intuitive Eating has been massively successful for many people. It asks people to have respect for their body's physical needs in regards to food and teaches how to respect proper hunger and fullness cues.

If you're one who constantly gave into yo-yo dieting and restrictive eating practices, the thought of intuitively eating may seem intimidating and difficult. The best thing you can do is talk to a registered dietitian who can walk you through the process of getting started.

"I usually suggest working with a registered dietitian to come up with a meal plan based on your needs focused on timing and portion sizes of meals and once you have gotten comfortable with that, transitioning over to intuitive eating to add or take away from what you would have had planned based on your body's redeveloped signals," says Ricci-Lee Hotz, MS, RDN at A Taste of Health and Expert at Testing.com.

All in all, Intuitive Eating could potentially help you to lose weight. But weight loss isn't the main point of this particular way of eating healthy. Instead, Intuitive Eating is all about making peace with food and truly being honest about your body's physical needs.

Name: Perry Booker Jr.Age: 27Occupation: Claims RepresentativeHometown: Manchester, Connecticut

Start Weight: 285 poundsEnd Weight: 197 poundsTime Running: 4 1/2 years

Growing up, I was an active person. I played many sports all the way through college, but when I graduated, I stopped. Thats when I noticed my weight going up, and I felt uncomfortable in my own skin.

Not only was I inactive, but I was also eating more. Whether I was sad or angry or stressed, eating made it easier to deal with these emotions. Over the years, I dealt with the stress of becoming a parent and losing my job while trying to support my family. The weight added up, and at my peak, I weighed 285 pounds.

I noticed that I would get out of breath while going up stairs, and I couldnt keep up with a growing toddler. The final straw, for me, came in December 2016. After a vacation, I felt sluggish, and my knees ached. The last time I had weighed myself, I was 260 pounds. When I saw 285 after vacation, I was shocked. Im only 5-foot-7, and being close to 300 pounds scared me. It was time for a change.

In January 2017, I started running. Unlike other aspects of my life, I could control my running. I set my pace and distance, and I could do it on my time. I also recognized it as a way people often lost weight.

The struggle was real at first. I was sore after every run, but I forced myself to get out there four to five days a week at my pace, without any apps and training plans. I just wanted to get out and move without being told when I had to stop or start.

After a few months, I wanted to increase my running skills, so I decided to sign up for a race and dedicate myself to a training plan. Later in 2017, I was able to complete the Glastonbury 5K in Glastonbury, Connecticut, and the popular Manchester Road Race in Manchester, Connecticut. Ive since graduated to 10Ks.

Along with adding exercise into my routine, I also changed my eating habits. Prior to my weight-loss journey, I ate a lot of fast food, fried dinner, and big portions until I was stuffed.

It took time, but I slowly worked on making small changes that turned into big changes. For instance, I am still working my way to being 100-percent vegetarian; I have to admit, having wings while watching football on Sundays is still a guilty pleasure. But I also found new favorite meals like meatless meatballs, jasmine rice, and honey sriracha Brussels sprouts.

Additionally, Ive also focused on watching my portion sizes so I dont overeat. Now I feel less lethargic and more energized, which means I can play with my child more and not feel fatigued.

Four years of dedication has brought me down 87 pounds and kept me there. Ive shrunk as a person and grown as a runner. My current goal is running every day, no matter the distance, for an entire year. Currently, I am over 150 days in, running six miles at most each run.

This is a special goal for me because I attempted it twice last year. Injuries and poor stretching routines held me back then, so I wont let it stop me now.

My advice to anyone who wants to go on a similar journey is to find your why. I didnt want to feel out of shape anymore. I wanted to play with my son and fit into clothes. Once I determined this is what I wanted, it was easier to make the changes. Having a why is an important factor to be able to make it through your journey.

Summer is right around the corner and there is no better time to start achieving your health and weight loss goals like the present. Maintaining a healthy BMI is more than about how you look and feelit can help you live longer. If losing weight is on your to-do list, there are several easy lifestyle changes you can make to do so. "Your body weight is impacted by a wide variety of lifestyle factors, all of which need to be considered in order for you to succeed," explains Registered Dietitian Kimberly Gomer, Director of Nutrition at the Pritikin Longevity Center. Read on for 15 expert-endorsed weight loss tips that are evidence basedand to ensure your health and the health of others, don't miss these 19 Ways You're Ruining Your Body, Say Health Experts.

Nona Djavid, nutrition and weight loss expert and founder of SoulScale strongly suggests the buddy approach to getting healthy. "A major factor to losing weight is to have someonewhether it be a friend, partner, or coachhold you accountable to ensure you're on target with your goals, help you work through any hurdles and serve as a source of encouragement." She notes that while plenty of people lose weight without paying someone to hold them accountable, they didn't do it alone. "Finding someone who will push you when you're not focused and also celebrate milestones makes a huge difference."

Djavid suggests keeping track of your progress on a calendar. "When you're on a mission to lose weight, it's helpful to look back and pinpoint the exact days where you felt confident and accomplished, but also mark the days where you didn't see or feel as much success," she points out. "After a month or two, take time to look back and see if you notice improvements or patterns. It can be as simple as marking an "X" on a calendar on days you exercise it's motivating to see a chain of Xs that you won't want to break."

Losing weight and maintaining that ideal weight is a journey and for many, can take several months. "Set up little rewards along the way to stay on the right path," suggests Djavid. "Whether it's a size goal, a weight goal or an inches goalthe trick is to reward yourself along the way. Don't use a food reward, but instead go get a massage or facial or go do a fun activity with friends."

water

Drinking water regularly throughout the day will help keep the pounds at bay. "Drinking a glass of water can actually boost metabolism by up to 30% for the next hour," Lauren Minchen, MPH, RDN, CDN, nutrition consultant for Freshbit, the AI-driven visual diet diary app, reveals.

Added sugar in the forms like corn syrup are associated with obesity, type 2 diabetes, and heart disease, Minchen notes. "Reducing your intake of added sugars removes empty calories, supports a healthy blood sugar and insulin level, and supports a healthy body weight," she explains.

Exercising portion control and tracking your food intake is incredibly effective in terms of weight loss success. "Portion control helps keep total caloric intake and macronutrient balance in check, which helps support a healthy body weight. And tracking your food in a food diary can help bring awareness and mindfulness to your portions and macronutrient intake. I would recommend tracking your food and drink in Freshbit, the AI-powered food tracking app, which will track your calories, protein, carbs, and fat intake to promote nutritional balance and a healthy body weight," Minchen suggests.

weight-lifting

Weight lifting doesn't necessarily bulk you up. In fact, it can do the opposite. "Lifting weights/adding resistance to your workouts a few times per week will help boost metabolism for the next 24-48 hours after exercise, which means a greater daily caloric burn, a reduced body fat percentage, and a higher lean mass (muscle, bone) percentage over time," Minchen reveals.

Eat your way to weight loss by adding more protein to your diet. "Eating adequate protein to support weight loss (about 0.5 gram per pound of body weight) can help preserve lean body mass (muscle, bone) while boosting metabolism for a greater calorie burn around the clock," explains Minchen. It also supports satiety after meals, so you may not feel the need to snack or munch in between meals as often as you would without adequate protein intake.

The majority of dieters spend a lot of time weighing themselves and counting calories. However, Gomer says this is a mistake. "My advice is to ditch the numbers: calorie counting and the number on the scale are, not measurements of health," she maintains.

If you are hungry, your diet isn't working, says Gomer. "At Pritikin we follow the number one rule for weight loss: you can't be hungry," she reveals. "This is accomplished with the supportive guidance of the Registered Dietitians, board-certified physicians, and renowned chefs at the Pritikin Center, using two easy to follow, proven eating theories: Volume Eating and Calorie Density."

Weight loss has to be healthy, says Gomer. "We can find studies that support low carbohydrate diets as beneficial, and ones that cause weight loss. That does not mean they are sustainable or healthy for the long term. Navigating diet trends is easier when you know that evidence shows sustainable and healthy are markers of a successful weight loss eating plan."

There is more to weight loss than what you eat. "The most successful way to effectively lose weight is a healthy lifestyle change that includes: enough quality sleep, exercise and physical activity, stress management, mindset, and diet," Gomer reveals. "These pillars of health all have to be in sync. We need to focus on realistic, sustainable lifestyle change that includes all of these parts, so that the end is success and health."

When you don't sleep well your body is stressed, it produces cortisol (a stress hormone), and that affects the insulin response, explains Gomer. "That is why you can have a harder time losing weight when you don't sleep well."

People who succeed at maintaining a healthy lifestyle do three things, per Gomer: exercise most days of the week, make vegetables the star on their plate, and don't eat after dinner. Jamie Costello of the Pritikin Center, (a certified personal trainer with a Master's of Science degree in Exercise Science and Health Promotion) has some great tips to find motivation: "Focus on the moment of how great exercise makes you feel that feeling of energy and wellness, or that 'I did it' feeling you get when you're done. Make that positive feeling the reward you are seeking when you think about exercise."

Gomer reminds that eating is a coping mechanism some use to manage stress. "It works for the short term, but we can pay a pricein our health, energy, weight gain," she points out. "The key is to find other coping mechanisms. My favorites are walking or running outside, or listening to books on tape."

Lose weight or say no to alcohol - Here's what study says about alcohol consumption by overweight people | Photo Credit: Pixabay 

Obesity and overweight is a preventable condition that can be overcome by alterations done to the lifestyle. According to the study published in the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition called Joint associations of adiposity and alcohol consumption with liver disease-related morbidity and mortality risk: findings from the UK Biobank, it was found that overweight and obese people are more vulnerable to adverse effects of alcohol on the liver as compared to people who are not.

Professor Emmanuel Stamatakis, senior author and research program director, Charles Perkins Centre and the Faculty of Medicine and Health said, People in the overweight or obese range who drank were found to be at greater risk of liver diseases compared with participants within a healthy weight range who consumed alcohol at the same level.

Even for people who drank within alcohol guidelines, participants classified as obese were at over 50 per cent greater risk of liver disease."

Dr Elif Inan-Eroglu, lead author of the study and postdoctoral research fellow with the Charles Perkins Centre said, "With the most recent data suggesting two in three people - or 67 per cent of the Australian population are in the overweight or obesity range, this is obviously a very topical issue."

A figure termed a hazard ratio was assigned to the degree of danger. The greater the number than 1, the greater the risk. People who drank above UK alcohol guidelines had, compared to within guideline drinkers:

When compared to normal-weight individuals who consumed alcohol at the same amount, people with overweight or obesity who drank within or beyond alcohol recommendations had a 50 per cent higher chance of developing liver disease.

Here are some ways in which you can prevent obesity:

When it comes to losing weight, food should not be considered the enemy. In fact, you can actually eat your way to weight loss if you fill your diet with the right types of fruit, veggies, proteins, fats, and starches. However, navigating the grocery store aisles on the hunt for the healthiest foods can be challengingespecially because many of the foods labeled as "diet" or "weight loss" friendly can be misleading. Lauren Minchen, MPH, RDN, CDN, nutrition consultant for Freshbit, the AI-driven visual diet diary app, has put together a list of 10 items you should be fueling up with on a daily basis in order to achieve your weight loss goals. Read on for 10 weight loss foods to never ignoreand to ensure your health and the health of others, don't miss these 19 Ways You're Ruining Your Body, Say Health Experts.

Minchen suggests adding salmon to your diet if you want to lose weight. "Salmon is rich in protein, zinc, B vitamins, and Omega 3 fatty acids," she explains. "Protein boosts satiety and metabolism, so one may feel less of an urge to snack and eat mindlessly, B vitamins support healthy metabolism of protein, carbs, and fats, while Omega 3 fatty acids can support reduced inflammationand systemic inflammation can lead to water retention and metabolic dysfunction."

Popeye was seriously onto something. "This powerful leafy green is rich in antioxidants, essential vitamins and minerals, and fiberall of these nutrients work synergistically to support healthy metabolism of the food we eat, support satiety after meals, and decrease inflammation," Minchen explains.

Minchen suggests adding raspberries to your diet if you want to lose weight. "Raspberries provide fiber, and they are also low in sugar and calories," she explains. "They provide a filling, nutritious choice as part of a healthy diet."

Strawberries are another excellent berry option full of fiber and vitamin C, says Minchen. "When consumed as part of a larger healthy diet, strawberries can support weight loss efforts while keeping you satisfied and full."

Fat is essential for a healthy metabolism. "If we don't eat enough fat, our metabolism may slow down, and our cells can't communicate and function," Minchen explains. Avocados provide healthy, anti-inflammatory fats to support a healthy metabolism while also providing fiber. "Fat and fiber, particularly combined, help support healthy blood sugar levels and a healthy body weight."

Sprinkling chia seeds on your yogurt or adding them to a smoothie can help you achieve your weight loss goals. "Chia seeds are rich in fiber, protein, and Omega 3 fatty acids, all three macronutrients which are essential for a healthy metabolism, balanced appetite, and reduced inflammation," explains Minchen.

Olive oil provides the essential fatty acids needed for a healthy metabolism and healthy blood sugar regulation, explains Minchen. "Blood sugar control is an essential component of reaching and maintaining a healthy body weight, and healthy fats from olive oil support this goal."

Sweet potatoes should be a diet staple. "This root veggie is rich in antioxidants and fiber to support healthy inflammation levels and a healthy metabolism," Minchen explains. "It also helps provide satiety after meals with its healthy complex carbohydrates for energy and fiber."

Similar to sweet potato, "when eaten with its skin, baked whole potatoes provide essential fiber to keep us satiated after meals," Minchen states. "White potatoes also are rich in essential minerals, like calcium, potassium, and magnesium, which support healthy metabolism of the foods we eat, reduced water retention, and healthy communication among our cells."

Unlike those, Hypnofasting is a healthier alternative that is 100% safe for the body. Most people struggle to follow a certain type of diet and find it difficult to stick to it. Weight loss hypnosis uses the power of the human mind to train the body to follow a fasting plan that cleanses the body and helps it maintain a steady weight. It strengthens the willpower regardless of age, gender, and size and encourages them to build a long-lasting lifestyle.

Intermittent fasting has been practiced for centuries for weight loss. In recent times, it has been scientifically proven that it is quite healthy and effective at what it does.

In this method, one has to fast for 16 hours and eat normally for 8 hours. They can drink during the fast but it has to be sugar or calorie-free. Eating healthier foods is suggested. But even if they maintain the same eating habit with intermittent fasting, they will surely lose weight.

There are lots of benefits of intermittent fasting. As the calorie intake is lower than the expenditure, people are bound to lose weight and belly fat. The body burns more ketones and fewer carbohydrates due to the acceleration of metabolism. It leads to faster body cell recovery, maintaining their youth. The risks of oxidative stress, type-2 diabetes, and inflammation are also reduced. It has also proved to lower the risks of cardiovascular disease, cancer, and Alzheimers. It helps the muscles to recover faster after a workout session. It has a positive effect on the health of the brain. It creates an anti-aging effect on the body as well.

Metabolism is referred to as the process by which our body converts the food we eat into energy, which is required to perform everyday functions. A higher metabolic rate means a person has the ability to lose weight faster. However, a slower one can work against the body and make it harder to get fitter. One of the simplest ways to speed up metabolism is by engaging in any kind of physical activity. Performing intense exercises helps to burn more calories and get rid of unwanted body fat. But there is another way to accelerate the calorie-burning process and that is by eating the right kind of foods. Also Read - Can Paratha Help You Lose Weight? Here's The Truth

Johnny Zolton had always struggled with his weight, but things took a drastic turn when he lost his mother at the age of 15. "I quit playing all my sports in school and resorted to playing video games and eating junk food," he says. His inactive lifestyle and unhealthy diet led to continual weight gain, and by the time Johnny was 25 years old, he weighed 445 pounds.

"I felt useless as a person," he says. "Before my youngest son was born I was playing outside with my other two children. I was walking up the two steps of my porch was extremely out of breathe. I thought in that moment, 'I have to do something or I wont be here for my children. I wont be here to walk my daughter down the aisle. I wont be here to coach my boys in sports.'"

That day ended up being a real turning point. From then on, he began exercising daily, beginning with by focusing on cardio. He also completely changed his nutrition, eating mostly eggs, chicken, rice, and broccoli, before eventually adopting the keto diet.

"It was hard at first, understanding how many carbs were in everything, and how everything felt like it had carbs in it," he says. "Once I got into the swing of things its been a lot easier and I really enjoy it... I love eggs. I eat so many and dont feel bad at all about it. I also enjoy steak and any red meats."

Everything Johnny did, from his workouts to going keto, was self-taught from YouTube and Reddit, without trainers or dieticians. He currently lifts weights seven days a week, and runs a couple of miles every single day. All-in-all, it was a six-year process; starting out at 445 pounds, Johnny eventually lost a total of 210 pounds, and now, at age 31, currently weighs in at 235 pounds. And he's not finished yet.

"My end goal is just to continue to get more healthy, and eventually work myself down to 10 percent body fat or less," he says.

My breakfast: Ash gourd juice and fresh fruits (apple, pear, chikku, mango, banana, papaya, muskmelon, lychee, dragon fruit, pomegranate, guava, etc)

My lunch: I usually like to have a one-grain meal - red rice or green moong dal khichdi or jowar roti or bajra roti or red rice poha, red rice+ black urad dal dosa or millet idli with lots of vegetables, sprouts and salad

My dinner: Salad, soup and dates or fruits

Pre-workout meal: Fasting for 12 hours and dates in the dinner prior to morning exercise.

Post-workout meal: I don't like to have anything for 30 minutes post completing my workout, not even water. Only after taking a break, I have ash gourd juice or fresh fruits.

I indulge in (What you eat on your cheat days): Wheat thepla or wheat paratha or kulcha. Frankly, theres no joy in cheating myself and I always kept in mind the cheat will delay my target weight.

Low-calorie recipes I swear by: All of my favourite weight loss friendly recipes are majorly raw or vegan. I eat all fruits including mango, sapota, etc, and salad without salt. Being raw vegan most of the time and eating only one grain meal in addition to doing 16 hours of fasting helps in increasing energy levels to jog comfortably. Eating mindfully and calorie dense foods.
