Introduction

Losing weight has been a lifelong struggle for many. It's a journey that requires discipline, patience, and dedication. In this article, we will share with you one Reddit user's remarkable weight loss success story using intuitive eating as a foundation.

The User's Journey

On July 2021, Reddit user Phoebe-Buffey posted a now-viral comparison photo of herself, showcasing her ten-month weight loss journey. Her starting weight was 185lbs, and ten months later, she had lost 30lbs, bringing her weight down to 155lbs. It's even more impressive that she was able to achieve such results without exercising.

Intuitive Eating

Phoebe-Buffey credits her weight loss success to intuitive eating. Intuitive eating is a concept that encourages individuals to eat without restrictions and to listen to their body's hunger cues, leading to developing a healthier relationship with food. By letting go of her past restrictive dieting, Phoebe was able to rediscover her body's natural hunger cues.

Educating Yourself on Intuitive Eating

A tip Phoebe shares with those looking to try intuitive eating is to educate yourself on what intuitive eating is genuinely about. Too often, people associate it with restrictive eating plans such as intermittent fasting. She recommends watching Abbey Sharp, a Canadian registered dietitian and YouTuber, as Abbey talks about food in a factual way, helping people reframe their thinking about food.

Conclusion

Phoebe-Buffey's successful intuitive eating journey offers hope for anyone struggling with their weight. It shows that it is possible to lose weight and become healthier by learning to listen to your body and abandoning the concept of restrictive diets. We encourage everyone to try to develop a better relationship with food and adopt healthier eating habits. Find what works for you and your body and start your journey towards a healthier you today.
