Grundlegend falsches Essverhalten? Wie sinnvoll ist intuitive Ernährung? Vorteile für sich nutzen!

Is there a nutrition concept that can end the yo-yo effect without stress, without reluctance? Intuitive eating promises us to be healthy and meaningful without rules and reluctance. For many, this concept is absolutely not useful. Without a diet for weight gain, how often do you actively think about what you eat? Many of us put hours and hours into the right diet, into the supposedly right diet. Macronutrients, micronutrients, the number of calories, enough protein, and, and, and. Everything is totally unnecessary. At least one concept claims that intuitive eating or intuitive nutrition is called. A concept that allows you to combine your food with pleasure and health. And yet, or just because of that, you take what you need. So, if you need more protein, then the eating impulse comes automatically afterwards, that is, intuitively. That sounds exciting, doesn't it? And does that really work? Or would a mixture of intuitive and targeted eating be better here? We're going to talk about that in the video now. Hello, my name is Dr. Tobias Waigel. With my YouTube channel, I would like to make a contribution to clarify medically understandable and correct about diseases, causes of these diseases, and also topics such as nutrition, because it all has a very close connection. And if you don't want to miss anything, feel free to subscribe to my channel now. What is intuitive nutrition anyway? Intuitive nutrition is not a new diet, but a lifestyle that has actually been followed everywhere for centuries and relies on your gut feeling. Instead of constantly counting calories or following strict rules, you trust your body and listen to your needs. It's about developing a natural and harmonious relationship to food. Also keyword danger of eating disorders. There is really no food taboo, that is also important, but it's all about conscious eating and conscious enjoying. Whether kebabs, hamburgers, a glass of wine, gummy bears, everything is allowed if the body signals you that it needs exactly that at the moment. That's the idea behind it. That also means that if the body signals hot hunger, then it can be eaten, which then intuitively grabs the hand. And that could also be dangerous, right? Intuitive eating means that you listen to your body and let it guide you. It's about letting the inner sense of hunger and satiety come back to life, creating a deep connection to the body. That's important, to create a good body feeling, to feel what it means to be hungry. By consciously paying attention to your inner signals, that's really good and important, you can better recognize which foods are good for you and which are more of a burden. It's a way to free yourself from external expectations, from rules, and to develop a healthy relationship to food and body. That's all good, that's all important. Whether you should intuitively grab a burger or a Haribo, that's put there. Very important, it's not a ticket for unhealthy food. Not for munching on whatever you feel like. Intuitive eating doesn't mean that you should have a healthy diet, as I always say. But to intuitively grab your food basket or your fridge. That's the very important difference. And then you do something like that permanently. But what comes in there beforehand can be influenced in a targeted way. I'll give you some specific tips on that in a moment. That means, I intuitively grab what's available, but I can somehow control what I make available, what I rationally put in my fridge beforehand. Why is intuitive eating useful? The idea behind intuitive eating is simple and good. You give your body what it really needs. No unnecessary forbidding, very bad. No unnecessary giving up, also bad. But a careful handling of food. That makes intuitive eating not only more flexible, but also more sustainable. That's how you can do it permanently. It's an approach that can also be easily integrated into everyday life. No special diet, where you can only eat certain things. And it also helps to build a positive relationship to food. Who often has the feeling that food releases pressure, or you have your nose full of prohibitions, of restrictions. As an example, eating a lean quark every day, which is hanging out of your throat at some point, can, through the intuitive approach, integrate a little more ease and enjoyment into your life. Not the fear of forgetting to eat a protein shake today, and the muscles will somehow go back. That's very important to know. A major advantage is that it reduces the probability of eating disorders. I'll tell you more about that in a moment. Now I've just talked about intuitive eating. It may sound contradictory when I say my best food, but that's not contradictory, because it is still very important what we make available to us. What do we develop a healthy, intuitive feeling for? And it is also important to understand which foods are important, which can do what. And that's exactly what my advisor is about, so feel free to take a look here. A big advantage of intuitive nutrition is the reduced stress around food. Many people feel stressed and under pressure when it comes to their diet. I very much hope that my videos do not contribute to relieving stress. Diets, strict rules, constant caloric intake can lead to frustration and dissatisfaction and no one gets through it permanently. The extreme case? The alleged compulsion to or the compulsion to allegedly healthy foods. This is called, it's an eating disorder, orthorexia nervosa. You can rely on your gut feeling. You can deal more relaxed and relaxed with your diet, which has a positive effect on your well-being. Another plus point of intuitive nutrition is, allegedly also, that you should develop a better body feeling. And that's good, to have a good body feeling. The same not only with nutrition, but also with sports. You learn to listen to your body, to understand its signals. And when you are full. This helps to achieve a healthier body weight and the feared, that's very important, yo-yo effect to avoid. Also to avoid heat-hunger attacks, keyword blood sugar spikes. In many cases we eat, although we are actually just thirsty. But the body knows that in many foods there is also liquid and we then confuse the signal for liquid, for drinking, with hunger or appetite. Think about it, very important. And so we take more calories to us and get used to the nutrition over our daily needs to eat, although we are actually just thirsty. Overall, we eat, especially in Germany, in western countries, significantly too much, or we tend to take too many calories to us. We eat very high-calorie foods. If you have already tried you are guaranteed to come to the result that we completely underestimate how many calories in food or also in drinks. Keyword sweet plushies like Fanta, Sprite, Cola, etc. And so you quickly get into calorie areas that are clearly above the daily needs. And not to forget, intuitive nutrition allows you more enjoyment while eating. You may consciously enjoy your food and without guilt. That's very important. This does not mean that you can only eat pizza and ice cream. On the contrary, I try to make that clear with the video, it's about consciously choosing what you like and do well. And as I said, you can enjoy little nibbles, because there are basically no bans and are permanently not good. What do I have to consider with intuitive nutrition? Although intuitive nutrition has many positive aspects, it is very important that intuitive nutrition is not a free pass for bad food. A problem may lie in the fact that you have difficulties at the beginning to interpret the signals of your body correctly and just think, I can now eat what I want, what I want. It can happen that your hunger or feeling of satiety is distorted by external influences such as stress, so it is very important to always keep balanced and healthy nutrition. Keyword availability. In addition, the focus on intuitive eating could also lead to some important nutrients being neglected in the diet because you may eat one-sidedly. If you only rely on your own preferences and you have eaten one-sidedly before, then certain nutrients may be too short because they have never appeared on your diet and you have never tried certain nutrients. However, balanced nutrition is crucial for long-term health and should also be the long-term goal of intuitive nutrition. Therefore, the combination of intuitive nutrition and balanced nutrition means being smart about which nutrients are available for you. Another potential disadvantage could also be that intuitive nutrition is not suitable for every lifestyle, which is also very important. What is your daily routine like? Where do you work? What can you eat in the morning? People who have certain health restrictions such as diabetes, celiac disease, intolerance, may have to take special consideration for their diet, because if you know that certain foods are not good for you, then you don't eat them. However, it can be difficult to get all the necessary nutrients from intuitive nutrition alone and possibly a closer monitoring of the diet is necessary. In such cases, it is also important to work with a doctor, a nutrition consultant, so that all health needs are also covered. In general, one can say that there are no significant signs of deficiency. Is intuitive nutrition something for me? This is of course a very important question. Of course, every person is different and not every diet fits everyone. But intuitive nutrition can be a wonderful way for many people to increase their well-being, to find a healthy access to food, before you start with rules, constraints, etc., which you don't stick to all the time. It can be particularly helpful if you have often been frustrated with diets, strict rules, or just want to trust your body more. Developing body feelings is very important. But the jumping point is that there are no fixed rules in intuitive nutrition. It's about listening to the body and trusting it, but of course keeping a certain measure yourself. Intuitive nutrition allows us to make individual decisions. This can be positive but also negative. If you use it as an excuse for indiscriminate eating unhealthy foods. Intuitive nutrition is a holistic approach that supports you to build up a healthy, enjoyable relationship to food. As a quintessence, it allows you to understand your own body better, and to give your body what it needs. No stress, no restrictions, just conscious eating and well-being. If you go overboard, you won't be able to celebrate success. Because an excess of calories leads to weight gain. That's why I'll give you 3 important tips if you start with intuitive nutrition. 3 tips for success with intuitive nutrition. 1. Don't eat stress. Intuitive nutrition means getting rid of food rules and constraints. Don't let the constant fear of unhealthy foods and calories lead you. Enjoying a piece of cake or fries won't get you off track. Instead, you can consciously allow yourself to eat unhealthy foods without feeling guilty. That's very important. After all, it's all about being happy. 2. Eat smart. Intuitive nutrition doesn't mean that you can only eat your favorite snacks. It's more about consciously choosing the snacks and integrating them into your daily life. For example, when I eat snacks, I eat walnuts. That's part of a healthy diet. So grab nutritious snacks like nuts, fresh fruit, vegetable sticks, when you feel hungry. That way, you can provide your body with the nutrients it needs and eat something when you're hungry. In the beginning, it's important to experience what your body needs and how much you can eat. 3. Cooking with love. Intuitive eating doesn't just mean listening to your body, but also actively doing good. Cooking should be more than just preparing meals. It's best to have fun with fresh ingredients, homemade food, preparing for the next few days, more prepping. That way, you can do a lot and determine what's good for you. Experiment with fresh ingredients in the beginning. Try new things. I've made many videos about foods that are good for certain diseases and certain organs. In the end, they all form a healthy diet. That's crucial. Feel free to comment on the video. Do you know intuitive eating? Do you do it? Or don't you think so at all? Thank you for watching! Stay true to me!
