Other intuitive eaters?

ForeverFFA:
I was just curious if anyone else on this site who isn't actively gaining considers themselves an intuitive eater? I've noticed the way that calories, food/cravings, and how a body gains or loses weight are usually discussed here. This isn't meant as a criticism at all, but it seems like more people understand these concepts through the lens of standard dieting wisdom than not?

Morbidly A Beast:
I’m so removed from diets and stuff at this point but I saw a tik tok diet person do a tiktok where they said most people who intuitively eat don’t actually “intuitively eat” but they just eat whatever they want, which absolutely that’s how I operate, but if you’re trying to lose weight or maintain a calorie deficit she explained it better. It was funny because she did it in the context of a cookout and she had like 3 hot dogs and heaping pile of potato salad while the other her (her actually just eating moderately)

Still don’t know what Intuitive eating pertains to

ForeverFFA:
Lol. A lot of people on social media like to mock or distort intuitive eating, but the premise is that diets don't work or they take up too much mental energy to be worth it. It allows people to pursue health but requires them to drop preconceived notions of what that looks like. The point that this tiktok woman missed is that the goal is for people to listen to their bodies (which can be really hard in the beginning) and practice gentle nutrition.



Here’s the video it was a YouTube short not a tik tok lol youtube.com/shorts/KaLFfBPP8SA

Too cold or too hot

I completely agree better to have to put on layers than to take off to keep cool!

Are metal bed frames better?

I broke two wooden box springs before forking over the money for a metal frame that my mattress goes right on top of haven’t needed anything else since also wasn’t terribly expensive I’d recommend it if it’s time for a new bed!

What does fat symbolize to you?

Morbidly A Beast:
For me fat symbolizes decadent overindulgence and gluttony

Dasassy420:
For instance, when u see someone eating a huge piece of cake, u think about how excessive it is, and u think this symbolizes their overindulgence.


Precisely. But instead of others it’s my own habits lol

Pig out

we modern and advanced humans subject ourselves to unfathomable stresses that most other species heck most other past humans not even 100 years ago faced - it’s important to unwind and relax, eating can be a way to do this but it’s super duper important to rest and decompress.

Filling but low calorie suggestions

Stuff yourself with whatever you want it won’t have much effect unless you do it consistently
