Hunger can be challenging to pinpoint as it involves a combination of the interactions of hormones, biochemical processes, and physical reactions.
However, we know that there are two critical types of hunger, Physical hunger, which can be your body’s drive to eat for survival, to be nurtured, and psychological hunger, which is based on cravings or external cues.
It does not view dieting, energy restriction, being told what to eat or when to eat, following rules or placing judgement on food choices. The goal is to eliminate dieting practices and replace them with a holistic approach. The Non-Diet approach embraces emotional and physical health. The Approach focuses on improving health and behaviours that affect our overall health, fitness and wellbeing. We learn to enhance the skills that respond to internal eating cues, develop self-care and have a non-judgemental attitude towards ourselves and food.
Most of the attitudes we face around exercise are pretty harsh. Think of the go hard or go home mentality. Think of the television programs that showcase weight loss at any cost and how the trainers push people beyond their limits of physical endurance.

This is why one of the main principles of intuitive eating is to make peace with food.
We all know that drinking plenty of water daily is essential for good health. We know Australian tap water is one of the best in the world. We are very lucky to be able to go to our taps and have a glass of water, that we can drink water without adding anything to it or boiling it, or without it giving us a serious waterborne disease
How many times have you attempted to do positive things for yourself and found you don’t have time or don’t have the energy to devote to yourself.
