When it comes to intuitive eating, meal planning can actually be REALLY helpful. You might be surprised to hear this, because sometimes people say, “But Katy, how am I supposed to eat what sounds good in the moment if I planned my meals ahead of time.”
I totally hear you. But here’s the counter-intuitive thing: Not having a plan with food will make it harder to eat intuitively, because you’ll always be stuck trying to figure out what to eat in the moment, and then scrambling to find that food, and not having satisfying options available to you throughout the day.
So with menu planning, we are going to approach it in a way that’s intended to PROVIDE (rather than deprive) your body of what it wants and needs. As you get to know yourself better, you’ll get a better sense of what types of foods you’re going to want and what types of things will make for satisfying meals and snacks throughout the week.
The other element that we will incorporate is flexibility, and plenty of room to make changes if the thing you planned doesn’t sound good anymore. Having backup options on hand, and the mental freedom to shift gears, is what will allow you to continue eating intuitively - while saving tons of time and money by planning your meals and grocery shopping strategically.
Wondering how exactly this all works? I’ve got you covered - Check out this episode of the Rebuilding Trust With Your Body podcast - enjoy!
