Webinar from the 2011 International Association of Eating Disorders Professionals Symposium.
Punitive and obsessional thoughts about eating and weight perception underlie most eating disorders. Dietary and nutritional guidelines are laden with rules that suppress the body’s natural intuitive eating ability. Proponents of the “intuitive eating” philosophy contend that patients can relearn to trust the body’s hunger/satiety signals and reestablish its innate food wisdom. Researchers, cognitive of the numerous physiological pathways controlling hunger and the current psychosocial conditioning, argue that reestablishing mechanisms of self-regulation are an illusion and unobtainable. This presentation attempts to introduce a practical middle ground that will reduce the confusion, establish trust and result in long term recovery.
