(0:41) Welcome
Hello Paleo View listeners!
Stacy is coming to you from Central Oregon
Sarah's mom has been following along with Stacy's travels via social media and loves the amazing family bonding they are having

Stacy shared on their latest adventures and the incredible experiences she is sharing with Matt and the boys
One of the things that Stacy did before leaving for her trip was to listen to a podcast on intuitive eating
This is something she thought she understood in concept, but she wasn't aware that there are specific rules around the practice
She wanted to share this information with Sarah so that they could discuss her concerns
It is important for Stacy and Sarah to address what the concepts are that are helpful and good when listening to your body when trying to embrace a non-diet culture
I.e. looking at living a sustainable life longterm, not in an on-again, off-again, diet rollercoaster

Stacy and Sarah eat the way that they eat for longterm health; they focus on nourishing their body so they can be healthy
However, they also understand that socially and emotionally food can drive humans
There is nothing wrong with this, as long as we are aware of our longterm goals towards health
We can apply this still to intuitive eating without going over the edge


Sarah also didn't realize that intuitive eating was actually an anti-diet framework
For Sarah, she had equated the phrases 'intuitive eating', 'mindful eating' and 'listening to your body' as all essentially the same thing
She had used these phrases interchangeably to talk about a concept that is ultimately body awareness
Sarah has a high degree of body awareness that was hard earned
It is a practice of mental health piece that has gone along with Sarah's Paleo/AIP journey
This has gotten her to a place where she really understands her body's signals

Now that Sarah understands that intuitive eating is its own thing there are some things that need to be cleared up
There are some very important factual details that Sarah needs to share
With this particular anti-diet framework there are some things that are not right
Sarah does agree with some of the points, but there are some really important scientific backed details that Sarah's needs to address

(13:40) Where Intuitive Eating has it Wrong
Before Sarah goes on her soapbox on where intuitive eating has it extremely wrong, she wants to cover the official trademark details on what this practice actually is
From their site:
“Intuitive eating is a non-diet approach to health and wellness that helps you tune into your body signals, break the cycle of chronic dieting and heal your relationship with food.  From a nutrition professional perspective, intuitive eating is a framework that helps us keep nutrition interventions behavior-focused instead of restrictive or rule-focused.”
“Intuitive eaters give themselves unconditional permission to eat whatever they want without feeling guilty. They rely on their int
