Intuitive Eating Counseling
Intuitive eating is a whole new way of thinking about food, weight, and quite frankly, life in general.
It’s a method thousands of people are now using to heal from the side effects of chronic dieting.
People who diet often become very rigid in their eating. They think of food in terms of “good or bad”and often binge eat after eating a food that they perceive to be bad.
An intuitive eater is defined as a person who “makes food choices without experiencing guilt or an ethical dilemma, honors hunger, respects fullness and enjoys the pleasure of eating.” Few of us are immune from guilt and judgment regarding our food choices because of the many sources of “food police” in our culture.
Chronic dieters don’t trust themselves around food and believe that their appetite must be controlled at all times. Chronic dieters often spend an enormous amount of time thinking about their weight and what they’ve eaten or will eat. They have lost touch with feelings of hunger and fullness and feel intense shame or guilt if they stray from their current diet. In essence, they are held prisoner by the culture of dieting and thinness
"I had the benefit of Cindy' s compassion and expertise, first hand, when I took her Intuitive Eating class. Her understanding of the issues of overeating and the negative connotations related to being overweight were discussed in a safe and supported environment. Cindy listened, asked and answered questions and was open to our input as to how to help make this class more beneficial to people who need it. She offered individual support and has been available to us anytime for follow up. I highly recommend Cindy Dallow to anyone who needs nutritional or fitness information or support."
