For Your New Year's Resolution Skip the Don’t and Do Something Enjoyable Instead


We are really excited to share suggestions for positive resolutions that are easy to keep and will make a great impact too. 


1. Skip Restricting What You Eat

Kick all the restrictions to the curb! 

Instead of getting on a diet,  learn about intuitive eating and listen to your body's signals. If you pay better attention to your body you will notice what you crave for and when. 

Intuitive eating can be beneficial for a number of reasons.

Improve body image 
Intuitive eating can help you develop a more positive body image by focusing on the pleasure and satisfaction of eating, rather than weight or body size.

Normalise eating
Stop thinking of certain foods as "good" or "bad" and instead focus on eating a variety of foods in response to hunger and fullness.

Improve physical health
Reach and maintain a healthy weight and improve overall health by focusing on nutrient-dense foods and eating in response to hunger and fullness.

Improve mental health 
Reduce disordered eating patterns and improve mental health by reducing the feelings of guilt or shame associated with eating.

Build a healthy relationship with food 
Learn to trust your body's hunger and fullness cues, rather than relying on external cues or rules.

Develop a sustainable approach to eating  
Intuitive eating helps to develop a sustainable approach to eating, as it is based on listening to one's body and responding to its signals. This approach can help to break the cycle of restriction, bingeing and guilt.

It's important to note that intuitive eating is not a quick fix, it's a process that needs to be learned and practiced over time. It's also important to consult with a healthcare professional or a registered dietitian for personalised advice.
