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.

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?
