Intuitive Eating as a Non-Diet Approach to Use in Practice
South Africa · CPD points & talks · Psychologists
In a society deeply embedded in diet culture and weight stigma, psychologists and registered counsellors often work with clients struggling with body image dissatisfaction, disordered eating, and low self-esteem. These challenges are frequently reinforced by societal norms that pathologise body diversity and promote restrictive eating behaviours.
This talk introduces Intuitive Eating, a non-diet, evidence-based framework developed by Evelyn Tribole and Elyse Resch. It offers an alternative to the traditional weight-centric paradigm by supporting individuals in developing a healthier, more attuned relationship with food and their bodies.
Grounded in psychological and nutritional science, this session helps clinicians understand how to integrate the principles of Intuitive Eating into therapeutic practice. The talk explores how internalised weight bias and diet culture affect mental health, and how professionals from both psychology and dietetics can collaborate to support sustainable wellbeing
