intuitive eating

Body-guided food choices

Intuitive eating is an approach to food that rejects dieting in favor of internal cues—eating when hungry, stopping when full, and removing moral judgments about "good" or "bad" foods.

The philosophy treats the body as trustworthy rather than something to override with rules: She stopped counting calories and switched to intuitive eating.
