Do you eat according to diets and plans? Your own body actually knows exactly what is good for it, but we have forgotten how to listen to it. As a result, many people do not feel comfortable in their bodies. Strict diets are often practiced to counteract this. Often
feelings of guilt are the result if you don't manage to stick to the strict rules. As a result, you quickly feel worse than before and often even put on weight. Are you familiar with intuitive eating? It's about deciding for yourself what and when you want to eat. Learn to listen to your own body again. The lecture will give you tips on how you can relearn intuitive eating and regain your own body awareness. The focus will be on the joy and pleasure of eating.
