"Sometimes in life you are lucky enough to meet people who blow your mind with their intelligence, kindness, inner beauty and general amazingness - and Annina is one of these people. You won't be disappointed!"

#Repost @evelyntribole ・・・ This is the most recent edition of #intuitiveeating, the 3rd edition published in 2012. It’s exciting to see Intuitive Eating growing in popularity. But it’s also frustrating to see the co-opting of our work by diet culture. So I thought I’d go over a couple of key points. What is Intuitive Eating? Intuitive Eating is an evidenced-based, mind-body health approach, comprised of 10 Principles and created by two dietitians, @EvelynTribole and @ElyseResch in 1995. It is a weight-neutral model with a validated assessment scale and over 90 studies to date. Intuitive Eating is a dynamic interplay between mind and body. Essentially, Intuitive Eating is the personal process of listening and responding to the direct messages of your body in order to get your physical and psychological needs met. What is NOT Intuitive Eating? Intuitive Eating is not a diet or food plan. Period. There is no pass or fail, therefore there is no “blowing it”, rather it’s a journey of self-discovery. There is nothing to count: this includes no counting of calories, carbs, points, or macros. If a health professional or coach is offering you Intuitive Eating for the purpose of weight loss–run away. Fast. (This has been such a problem that in 2007, we started training and certifying health professionals in the Intuitive Eating process.) Study after study, shows that dieting and food restriction for the purpose of weight loss, leads to even more weight gain. Worse–the focus and preoccupation on weight leads to body dissatisfaction and weight stigma, which increases the risk of eating disorders. Ultimately, YOU are the expert of your own body. Only you know what hunger, fullness, and satisfaction feels like. Only you know your thoughts, feelings, and experiences. Intuitive Eating is an empowerment tool! #healthnotdiets #nondietapproach #nondiet #balancednotclean #foodfreedom #foodforthought #lifebeyonddieting #nourishnotpunish #progressnotperfection #allfoodsfit #memoriesovermacros #antidietproject #HAES #bodytrust #bodyrespect #dietitian #dietitiansofinstagram #iepro #edrecovery #interoceptiveawareness

#Repost @feministfightclub ・・・ Ask a man to explain his success and he’ll point to his innate qualities and skill. But ask a woman and she’ll attribute it to things like “hard work,” “help from others,” or “luck.” 💡FFC pro-tip: Remove the word LUCK from your professional vocabulary. You did not get LUCKY. You don’t need to be humble. Women have to work twice as hard to be perceived as once as good (and even more if they are a woman of color) — so let’s tell it like it is: YOU 👏🏼WORKED 👏🏽 YOUR 👏🏾 ASS 👏🏿 OFF. #mondaymantra
Having food around is the first step to regular nourishment, for where there is no food, no food can be eaten! And if food shopping is hard, consider meal delivery services or online grocery shopping according to recipes. 🌿
