Intuitive Eating vs. Mechanical Eating: Can They Co-Exist?
In the ever-evolving world of nutrition and wellness, two approaches to eating stand out for their contrasting philosophies: intuitive eating and mechanical eating. Intuitive eating promotes listening to your body’s natural hunger and fullness cues, focusing on self-trust and personal satisfaction. It rejects traditional dieting and rigid food rules, advocating for a flexible, individualized relationship with food. On the other hand, mechanical eating emphasizes structured, scheduled meals and snacks, often used in the early stages of eating disorder recovery to stabilize eating patterns and regulate metabolism. But can these two seemingly opposing approaches truly coexist?
