🆕 How to Get Off the Dieting Hamster Wheel with Gentle Nutrition


Hi there Reader,

Have you ever felt stuck between two extremes: strict dieting or completely throwing nutrition out the window? Gentle nutrition could be the sustainable middle ground you need for long-lasting wellbeing.

Instead of focusing on strict rules or perfection, gentle nutrition, which is the tenth and final principle of intuitive eating, is about noticing how different foods make you feel, supporting your energy and wellbeing, and making choices that actually fit your life (including any unique health needs you might have).

In my latest post, I share real-life gentle nutrition applications like:

  • The concept of nutrition by addition, such as tossing chickpeas or roasted veggies into your favorite pasta dish.
  • Ways to balance food cravings and nourishment, without guilt or judgment.
  • Tips for tuning into your body cues to feel energized and satisfied.
  • My answer to the question: Can you practice intuitive eating with a health condition?
  • Why flexibility matters more than perfection in everyday eating.

Whether you’re managing blood sugar, digestion, or just looking to feel more energized, gentle nutrition offers a sustainable, realistic approach to eating.
