How to be great at cooking with intuitive eating

April 04, 2023 • Alpine Nutrition LLC • Season 3 • Episode 86

Can you meal plan with intuitive eating?

How do you eat intuitively if you're following a meal plan?

What if you don't want to eat what you planned?

And what if meal planning feels too diety?

These are some of the most common questions I get from clients and group members when it comes to intuitive eating - right under Will intuitive eating help me lose weight?

Meal prep and planning are an integral part of Gentle Nutrition, Honor Your Hunger, Know Your Fullness, and the Body Respect Principles of Intuitive Eating.

Intuitive eating can help you eliminate food rules in the kitchen - rules that are leftover from your dieting days. Rules like low-fat, low-carb, low-calorie, etc make cooking difficult, not fun, and definitely not satisfying.

This episode will help you kick diet culture out of your kitchen and improve your cooking skills.

Jessi Holden, MS, RDN has been a registered dietitian nutritionist since 2013. She specializes in culinary nutrition through the lens of intuitive eating. She helps beginners learn how to cook healthy meals in an approachable and fun way.

Jessi is the owner of The Kitchen Invitation where she welcomes cooks of all skill levels to get creative in the kitchen - without diet culture food rules. She hosts an online community and podcast to help beginner cooks solve common cooking dilemmas and feel inspired to be open and flexible when it comes to meal planning and prep.

Here's what you'll learn from our conversation:

1. What does Jessi mean by "nutrition is meant to be livable, doable, and fun so grab your apron and let’s dive in!"

2. How Jessi helps women keep diet culture out of the kitchen.

3. Help! I'm over 40 and I never learned how to cook! Is it too late? How you can get some cooking skills while juggling a busy life.

3. How Jessi helps clients find their meal prep and plan personality.

4. Plus Jessi shares her top 3 tips for busy women in midlife to keep meal planning, shopping, and prepping easy - especially if they're juggling multiple food preferences in their families.
