Publisher's summary

Eating is a basic biological necessity and yet our relationship with food can be fraught with a host of complications. Thanks to the pressures of diet culture and a bombardment of contradictory messages about health and body image, many of us have lost the ability to listen to our own bodies when it comes to what, when, and how much to eat. And many of us pass this poor relationship with food on to our children without even realizing it.

How can we combat the negative habits and feelings that surround our food choices? And how can we give our kids a healthier alternative to the anxiety of restrictive diets and encourage them to listen to what their bodies need? The answer may lie with “intuitive eating”, a mind-body approach to eating that has been shown to improve diet quality, self-esteem, mental health, fitness motivation, and more. In the 10 lectures of Raising Intuitive Eaters, registered dietician and parent Sarah Remmer will introduce you to the principles of intuitive eating and demonstrate how to give children the best possible foundation for a healthy relationship with food and their own bodies—even if that means not finishing their broccoli.

As Sarah deconstructs the hazards of diet culture and offers a healthier alternative—the self-care-based principles of intuitive eating—she also highlights the crucial role parents and caretakers play in forming healthy eating habits and creating a positive, stress-free approach to food. While Sarah’s focus is introducing a healthy mindset and healthy behaviors to children, Raising Intuitive Eaters offers food for thought for anyone who would like to develop a healthier and happier relationship with their body.

Some good tips, some sanctimonious propaganda

There are some helpful reflections about ways parents inadvertently judge or force unhealthy eating habits onto their kids. That's not okay and that's what pushed me toward the book. Unfortunately, a lot more of the book is sanctimonious repetition of current pseudoscientific trends (try counting the number of times the author says "I'm a professional pediatric dietitian" in a sing-song voice to lend authority to whatever eating habits are currently trendy on TikTok). This book will age very badly when the tide shifts yet again.

Apparently I contributed to the problem.

Dislike the way the author said “processed, progress and pasta”.
Other some good general information.

Very Informative!

I really enjoyed this read. I would like to do better with my grandkids than I did my own children. This had a lot of simple techniques to try.

Very informative

While I do not have children of my own yet, I found this book to be very informative. I have recently lost over 100lbs; and, in the process of doing so, my relationship with food has become quite toxic as I fully bought into diet culture rhetoric and practices. I have never had a great relationship with food. However, listening to this piece, affirmed for me that my poor relationship with food started well before adulthood.

Although this is aimed at parents who are trying to build an intuitive eating habit in their children, there is so much from this that I will be incorporating into my life as well!
