Meal Planning and Intuitive Eating
Good Morning!
I hope you all had a great weekend! The sun was shining and the grills were grillin'
For my family summer is a time to slow downBUT I have found that maintaining some structure is important especially when it comes to eating and meals. Without some sort of "plan" for the week I find myself at the grocery store almost daily! I really hate going to the grocery store more than once a week.
So, we created a simple meal plan guide to help you "plan" out your meals during these slow summer months. The meal plan guide will help you plan ahead basic meals and write a corresponding grocery list.
"How can you meal plan and be Intuitive Eating. I thought Intuitive Eating was eat whatever you want?"
Yes! You can eat whatever and whenever you want but intuitive eating is so much more than just that! Meal planning allows you to have the foods you like available so that you can eat foods that are enjoyable and satisfying.
Here are a few benefits of meal planning for Intuitive Eating:
