How to Listen Your Body, Make Optimal Decisions & Lose Weight With Intuitive Eating | Sheri Traxler

Intuitive eating is an eating philosophy and lifestyle which requires no calorie-counting or measuring food. It's a completely different approach to dieting, and it is based on the idea that your body knows what it needs more than you do. It is about learning to listen to your hunger signals, rather than ignoring them.

The better you get at tuning in to your body, the more subtle signals you notice and the better decisions you make.

Long-term weight loss often comes as a "side effect".
