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 Respect Your Body & Exercise – Feel the Difference encourages you to accept your genetic blueprint. Just as a person with a shoe size of eight would not expect to realistically squeeze into a size six, it is equally as futile (and uncomfortable) to have the same expectation with body size. You will also discover how you can shift your focus to how it feels to move your body, rather than the calorie burning effect of exercise. 

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
