Gentle Nutrition Guides That Won’t Leave You Feeling Restricted

Find food freedom and learn to enjoy food again without guilt

Eliminate Confusion Created by Diet Culture

Remove Stress Around Food Choices

Nourish Your Body With Foods You Enjoy

Traditional books and “healthy eating guides” love to tell you what foods to avoid, what to eat and when to eat it.


These guides always feel so easy to follow, right up until you “fall off the wagon” and have to start over.


They tend to leave you second guessing every one of your food choices and feeling like you “messed up” if you didn’t follow their rules exactly.

 

All this “healthy eating” advice just feels like… a diet?!

Gentle Nutrition

What is Gentle Nutrition?

Gentle nutrition is part of a larger, non-diet eating framework called intuitive eating. It focuses on how to honor your physical health with food so you can balance your diet with foods that both taste good AND feel good in your body. The intuitive eating process is intended to help you heal your relationship with food. Intuitive eating teaches you how to listen to your body’s cues for hunger, fullness, and satisfaction and reject the dieting mentality that gets in the way of you being able to do so.

Can I use this for other parts of intuitive eating?

Gentle nutrition is the last step of the intuitive eating process, and for good reason. Eating for physical health may draw you back into black and white thinking about food. What foods are “healthy” or “unhealthy”, “good” or “bad”. Establishing a foundation of food neutrality and body trust has to come first. Otherwise you run the risk of turning intuitive eating into another diet. Talk to your dietitian to see if our guides would be right for you. 

Will this help me lose weight?
Our guides are designed to support your journey in honoring your physical health with food so you can balance your diet with foods that both taste good AND feel good in your body. Intuitive eating teaches you how to listen to your body’s cues for hunger, fullness, and satisfaction and reject the dieting mentality that gets in the way of you being able to do so. While practicing gentle nutrition and intuitive eating, your body may settle into it’s biologically appropriate/set point range or may not change at all.
