Summary of Evelyn Tribole & Elyse Resch's Intuitive Eating, 4th Edition EPUB

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.

Book Preview: #1 When we cultivated the premise of Intuitive Eating, we reviewed hundreds of studies that, in addition to our clinical experience, ultimately formed the basis for the ten Intuitive Eating principles. Today, the research on Intuitive Eating itself is robust.

#2 The media began to pay attention to Intuitive Eating in 1995, when we published the book. In 2005, a study showed that women who scored high on an Intuitive Eating scale had lower fat levels in the blood and a reduction in the overall risk for heart disease.

#3 In 2006, Dr. Tracy Tylka of Ohio State University published a study that validated three key aspects of Intuitive Eating: unconditional permission to eat when hungry, eating for physical rather than emotional reasons, and reliance on internal hunger and satiety cues to determine when and how much to eat.

#4 Interoceptive awareness is the ability to perceive physical sensations that arise from within your body. It is a direct experience, not the past or future, that happens right now. It includes basic states like feeling a distended bladder, hunger and satiety cues, and the felt sense of every emotional feeling.
