Intuitive Eating vs. Intermittent Fasting: Key Differences! 🌱⏰

From my own experience, and working with clients, people often feel some initial benefits with intermittent fasting, but find it hard to maintain long-term. Shifting to eating more intuitively helps to relax around food, creating a balanced and sustainable approach - no timer needed! 🕊️

If you are wondering what is difference between intuitive eating and intermittent fasting, here are 3 key points

1️⃣ Hunger Cues
Intuitive Eating: Eat in response to your natural hunger, fullness and satisfaction cues. 🍽️
Intermittent Fasting: Follows set meal windows, instead of eating in response to your natural cues. ⏰

2️⃣ Food Freedom
Intuitive Eating: No rigid rules, prioritises listening to your body. ❤️
Intermittent Fasting: Set eating times, which may feel restrictive. ⏳

3️⃣ Flexibility
Intuitive Eating: Adapts to changing daily needs and routines. 🌿
Intermittent Fasting: Structure may feel limiting. 🕰️

I’m curious to know... do you prefer structure or listening to your body’s cues? I’d love to hear about your experience, comment below or send me a message! 💬👇

👋 Does this sound familiar to you? If it does, hopefully you’ll find this helpful, to know why it`s not the best move if you`re aiming to eat intuitively, reduce sugar cravings and have a more balanced approach to food and eating:

1️⃣ Ignoring natural hunger cues ⏰ – Our bodies are designed to signal when they need fuel. Ignoring these cues can disrupt trust in those signals and lead to feeling out of sync with our body’s natural needs.

2️⃣ Energy dips 🔋 – Fuelling regularly keeps your energy steady and sugar levels balanced. Skipping snacks when you’re peckish, may cause a slump in focus and mood later on in the day.

3️⃣ Intense cravings later 🍫 – Waiting too long to eat can increase cravings, often leading to overeating later on. It’s very common to judge ourselves for this, but remembering that this is a natural response from our bodies, when it senses it’s being deprived of fuel, can be really helpful 🤗.

Have you tried listening and responding to your natural hunger cues instead? It can make a world of difference! 💫

👋 I wanted to talk about why eating when you’re not physically hungry can be a powerful act of self-care and here`s why...👇

Imagine you’ve got a long meeting coming up, or dinner won’t be served until late - choosing to eat a nourishing snack before you feel hungry can prevent you from feeling drained or irritable later on 🥱.

In these situations, you can honour your body’s needs and set yourself up for success 🙌🏻, rather than waiting until you’re starving. Waiting until you`ve passed a comfortable hunger level, can encourage your body to send out strong urges (which would be a very normal response) to eat quickly and more than you might need, when you finally do get to eat.

I wanted to touch on this as I often get asked, when using the hunger scale, if it`s okay to eat when I’m not physically hungry.

Hope you`ve found these examples helpful!
