278-Co-opting Intuitive Eating&Embodiment with Evelyn Tribole - a podcast by Stephanie Dodier Clinical Nutritionist CNP
from 2021-03-11T15:00
Co-opting intuitive eating is frustrating, problematic and dangerous, but it’s not a surprise.
Intuitive eating is growing in popularity and growing fast. Take a look at the google trend search over the last 5 years.
It’s clear: people are starting to be done with dieting. That is to say, people want out from diet culture and are looking for options.
Certainly, the weight loss & wellness industry are paying attention. For instance, just think of Weight Watcher rebrand in 2019 to WW-Wellness that Works.
Yet another sign of the growth in popularity of Intuitive Eating is when “popular” diet gurus are bluntly co-opting intuitive eating in their weight loss books without even an ounce of shame.
In fact, I see the same growth in my professional training program. The waitlist is consistently 150% to program capacity for the last 12 months and no sign of stopping either.
