#151: How to Make Peace With "Healthy" Foods Like Veggies

Rebuilding Trust With Your Body

Today we are talking about something that doesn’t get discussed very often in the intuitive eating space…fruits and veggies.

We (of course) focus a lot in the beginning of the intuitive eating journey on making peace with things like donuts, burgers, pizza, french fries, ice cream, and things that diet culture has told us are “bad/unhealthy.”

But rarely do we talk about intentionally including fruits and veggies, or how to make peace with the “good/healthy” foods that diet culture told us we HAD TO eat for so long - to the point that you might gag at the thought of forcing yourself to choke down another salad.

Diet culture doesn’t get to co-opt fruits and veggies anymore! We get to reclaim them as part of enjoyable eating, and gentle nutrition.

Hit play and get ready to dig into how to think differently about fruits and veggies as part of intuitive eating.

Episode Highlights:

-How to take your feelings about fruits and veggies from “gloom” to “bloom” so you can enjoy them again!

-The key mindset shift that you need to make about fruits and veggies before you try to intentionally increase your intake of them

-My easy strategy + tool for how to start eating more fruits and veggies (without it becoming a diet-y thing you’re doing again)

-Questions to ask yourself while you’re eating and after you’re done eating to help you learn to intuitively desire and ENJOY fruits and veggies as a normal part of your daily routine
