Georgia Tech students are invited to attend a series of workshops on Intuitive Eating. These workshops will introduce the 10 Intuitive Eating principles and feature discussions between Health Initiatives nutritionists and students on how to apply intuitive eating to a busy college lifestyle. 

The workshop Make Peace with Food & Challenge the Food Police encourages you to give yourself unconditional permission to eat. If you tell yourself that you can’t or shouldn’t have a particular food, it can lead to intense feelings of deprivation that build into uncontrollable cravings and, often, bingeing. 

Intuitive eating is a non-diet approach to eating that encourages healthy relationships with food and focuses on the importance of bodily cues such as hunger or fullness. It discourages dieting habits such as setting calorie limits or restrictive eating, and instead emphasizes that the body innately knows what it needs to fuel itself throughout the day.

Meetings are bi-weekly on Thursdays at 4:00 pm. To read about the 10 principles and register, go to - healthinitiatives.gatech.edu/intuitive-eating
