The Unbearable Straightness of Intuitive Eating
Published in Phillip Joy, Megan Aston, Queering Nutrition and Dietetics, 2023
The binary logic of intuitive eating creates the world with intuitive eating and the world without. A world without intuitive eating means dieting, so intuitive eating must be good, right? Queering allows for a different world, plurality, a third and fourth theory of eating, rejuvenates ancient food ways.

Providers can safeguard female patients from the detrimental effects of weight bias in healthcare settings by focusing on positive health behaviors instead of on dieting and weight loss. Shifting the focus to health is associated with improvements in blood pressure, lipids, physical activity, and healthy body image.96–99 When women emphasize the functionality of their bodies over appearance, they are more inclined to eat according to their biological hunger and fullness cues.100 In other words, they eat intuitively, and intuitive eating has been linked to a more diverse diet, lower BMI, improved blood pressure, lipids, diet quality, and better psychological health.101 Clinicians trained in these frameworks can assist patients in adopting sustainable health behaviors and avoiding the consequences of chronic dieting. It is advisable for all health professionals to seek training in weight-inclusive care.

Intuitive eating is one of the most well-known and effective approaches for treating eating disorders, as it helps to reconnect the mind and body and focus on attuning to the body’s inherent needs. It’s the opposite of dieting or having rules around food and eating. Intuitive eating is an evidenced-based, mind-body health approach comprising ten principles and created by two dietitians, Evelyn Tribole and Elyse Resch in 1995. It is a weight-neutral model with a validated assessment scale and over 90 studies to date.2 It incorporates a process called “interoceptive awareness” and helps cultivate connection and remove barriers to body awareness. Essentially, intuitive eating is a “personal process of honoring health by listening and responding to the direct messages of the body in order to meet your physical and psychological needs.”3
Social jet lag and eating styles in young adults

Intuitive eating is defined as eating based on physiological satiety and hunger cues (Tribole and Resch 1995) and is associated with improved dietary intake and lower BMIs (Anderson et al., 2016). In contrast, emotional eating occurs in response to emotional cues such as stress or boredom (Macht and Simons 2000) and is associated with weight gain (Geliebter and Aversa 2003; Quick et al. 2014). Loss of control over eating occurs when individuals have the subjective experience of lacking sufficient control over how much or what they are eating, which is also often associated with eating large amounts of food at one time (Latner et al. 2014). In one of the only studies in this (related) area, men with more evening chronotypes had higher loss of control over eating than morning types (Aoun et al. 2019). Although the relationship between social jet lag or circadian misalignment with these eating styles has not yet been established, the research on social jet lag and specific food choices (Cetiner et al. 2021; Mathew et al. 2020; Mota et al. 2019; Yoshizaki and Togo 2021) may extend to these important eating styles.
Prevention of eating disorders: 2020 in review
Published in Eating Disorders, 2021
Weight stability is a goal of treatment and prevention programs because significant fluctuations in either direction are associated with poor health in general, and DE and EDs in particular. Tylka et al. (2020) investigated the relationships between weight fluctuations and levels of intuitive eating, rigid dietary control, and flexible eating control in a community sample of young adult and middle age women and men. Intuitive eating is “a flexible pattern of eating that involves: trust in and reliance on internal hunger and satiety cues, eating for physical (rather than emotional) reasons, granting unconditional permission to eat, and choosing foods that support health and body functioning” (p. 257). Flexible control, a key component of the effective ED prevention program called the Healthy Weight Intervention (Stice et al., 2018), involves careful regulation of portions and self-monitoring of food intake for the specific purpose of losing or managing weight.
Intuitive eating is connected to self-reported weight stability in community women and men

Intuitive eating may promote weight stabilization. Intuitive eating is a flexible pattern of eating that involves: trust in and reliance on internal hunger and satiety cues, eating for physical (rather than emotional) reasons, granting unconditional permission to eat, and choosing foods that support health and body functioning (i.e., body-food choice congruence) (Tylka & Kroon Van Diest, 2013). It has been integrated into select ED interventions interventions (Reel, Lee, & Bellows, 2016; Richards, Crowton, Berrett, Smith, & Passmore, 2017). For example, intuitive eating is a component in size acceptance interventions designed for higher-weight women with ED symptoms; these women stabilized their weight, reduced ED symptoms, and improved body image and metabolic fitness at post-intervention and follow-up (Bacon, Stern, Van Loan, & Keim, 2005; Mensinger, Calogero, Stranges, & Tylka, 2016). Yet, it is unclear whether intuitive eating is linked to weight stability in community samples, the likely recipients of public health interventions. While intuitive eating is inversely related to body mass index (BMI) in community samples (e.g., Camilleri et al., 2016; Tylka, Calogero, & Daníelsdóttir, 2015; Tylka & Kroon Van Diest, 2013), this relationship does not reveal whether intuitive eating is linked to weight stability.
