I can just say “junk food” and you know immediately what foods fit into that category. You also know what foods are “healthy”. We’ve learned which foods are which from our parents, teachers, social media, friends, and diet programs.
But do these labels change whether you eat those foods or not? Or, do you just feel better or worse when you eat them?
On the podcast, Tara dives into the messages we hear about the value of foods and how conflicting they are, why these labels are meant to motivate us to eat in a certain way but that’s not really what it does, and how to look at food instead (without the labels).

You may have hit diet rockbottom and refuse to go on another diet again. Or, you’re just frustrated with your relationship with food and you’re ready for something different and new. Or, you stumbled upon intuitive eating and are curious.
In this episode, Tara shares six things (she added one at the end) to keep in mind while you’re starting your intuitive eating practice. They include some of the challenges you may encounter when you reject the diet mentality, learn about diet culture, practice tuning into your body, want to know if you’re doing it right and feel alone because so many people around you are still dieting.
This journey is worth it and my hope this episode will leave you feeling better equipped to take these steps in a new direction.
