The book Intuitive Eating: A Revolutionary Program That Works by Evelyn Tribole and Elyse Resch is one of my favorite weight management tools. It has helped me shed over 20 pounds in the past year and maintain the weight loss.

I’m starting my new 90 Day Health Challenge today so I took another look at the book and reviewed the principles of this program.

The Ten Principles of Intuitive Eating:

1. Reject the Diet Mentality
2. Honor Your Hunger
3. Make Peace With Food
4. Challenge the Food Police
5. Feel Your Fullness
6. Discover the Satisfaction Factor
7. Cope with Emotions Without Using Food
8. Respect Your Body
9. Exercise - Feel the Difference
10. Honor Your Health

The three principles that resonant with me are: a) rejecting the diet mentality, b) challenging the food police and c) feeling your fullness.

I encourage anyone who has struggled with weight management to read this book. It is a quick read and will change your perspective on dieting. To learn more check out www.intuitiveeating.com.
