Intuitive Eating
The program replaces food rules with body trust: hunger, fullness, satisfaction, and respect become the operating system.
Core idea.
Intuitive eating is not impulse without care. It is a recovery of interoception: listening to hunger, honoring satisfaction, rejecting shame, and rebuilding trust after rules have made the body feel like an enemy.
