I get this question a lot. People assume that healthy eating and intuitive eating are mutually exclusive and cannot co-occur. What this tells me is that you still distrust your body. If you trusted that your body would intuitively tell you what it needs and what type of eating makes your body feel it's best, you wouldn't be worried about this.
I get it though, and I understand the challenges of this, because until you see evidence that your body is naturally wanting the entire spectrum of food and that it really does all balance out in the big picture, it can feel like intuitive eating leaves you short nutritionally.
Here are some "gentle nutrition" guidelines to fuse with your intuitive eating practice:
Always remember that there is no such thing as perfect eating, and that healthy eating includes all types of food. It's completely normal to struggle with integrating nutrition concepts into intuitive eating, and it takes time to wrap your mind around it. As always, be gentle with yourself along the way.
