Intuitive eating is as simple as listening to your body. Eat when you’re hungry, stop when you’re full, and enjoy food without guilt. This lifestyle not only improves our relationship with food but also with our bodies. 

And apparently, it’s contagious: daughters of mothers who practice this approach tend to follow in their footsteps, creating healthier habits for the future.

Here are 3 ways to pass down intuitive eating to your daughters:

1) Mothers who practice intuitive eating show their daughters that there’s no need to fear food. Eating when you’re hungry and stopping when you’re satisfied is a behavior that daughters will naturally mimic.

2) Teaching your daughters that there are no “good” or “bad” foods, and that everything can be enjoyed in moderation, allows them to develop a healthier mindset about food from a young age.

3) Practicing body acceptance and not focusing on physical appearance helps daughters learn that well-being isn’t about a number on the scale, but about how we feel inside.

It’s not just about what we eat, but how we feel about our food! Girls growing up in homes with intuitive eating have higher body acceptance and are less likely to suffer from eating disorders. This approach teaches them to care for themselves without obsessing over the scale.
