Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy Interview Intuitive Eating Author and Expert Evelyn Tribole
On tonight’s show Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy learn all about intuitive eating from Evelyn Tribole, author of the book Intuitive Eating A Revolutionary Program That Works.
Evelyn Tribole, MS, RD, is an award-winning dietitian with a counseling practice in 
clients create a healthy relationship with food, mind and body. She was the nutrition expert for Good Morning America and qualified for the 1984 Olympic trials in the women’s marathon. Although she no longer competes, she runs for fun and fitness.
On the show Evelyn had some great tips like eat like a food critic…taste each bite and slowly enjoy it. There were lots more tips, but you’ll have to listen.
Intuitive eating is an approach that teaches you how to create a healthy relationship with your food, mind, and body–where you ultimately become the expert of your own body. You learn how to distinguish between physical and emotional feelings, and gain a sense of body wisdom. It’s also a process of making peace with food—so that you no longer have constant “food worry” thoughts. It’s knowing that your health and your worth as a person does not change because you ate a so-called “bad” or “fattening” food.
On the surface this may sound simple, but it’s tricky. For example one of the basic principles of Intuitive Eating is the ability to respond to inner body cues, “Eat when you’re hungry and stop when you’re full”, which may sound like a no-brainer. But when you have history of chronic dieting or rigid “healthy” rules about eating it’s quite difficult because a number of things need to be in place, including the ability to trust yourself!
