But our emotions can affect our instincts, and the cognitive part of the brain can make the best decisions for our well-being. The main misunderstanding around Intuitive Eating is that it’s all instinctual. Each of these books offers further reflection and practice of Intuitive Eating. I continued to co-author updated versions of Intuitive Eating (now in its 4th edition) and wrote or co-wrote two workbooks, a journal, and a card deck. After co-authoring the first Intuitive Eating book, which was released in 1995, I continued unlearning some old thinking, which led to incorporating more advanced learning, especially connected to social justice, with the aim of eliminating the oppression placed upon people in larger bodies. Wanting to do better for my clients led me to believe in a weight-inclusive philosophy, which would guide clients toward better attunement with their bodies and a more positive relationship with food and body. The teaching was weight-centric, with a misguided belief that weight loss was the key to health. It all began in the eighties and early nineties when I found that what I had been taught in graduate school about counseling clients was not only unsatisfying but also appeared to be doing harm. ![]()
