Eat What You Want and Lose Weight!

That's right, forget calorie counting, carb counting, and fat counting; just eat! Now, I know what you are thinking…cakes, cookies, chocolate? This can't be! Well, not according to study done by Brigham Young University that revealed “intuitive eating” is better for losing weight.Now back to the cakes, cookies and chocolate. The last time I tried eating what I want (mainly cake with whipped frosting and freshly baked chocolate chip cookies) I gained 20lbs.
Intuitive eating suggests that we recognize what our body wants and then determine how much to eat based on hunger and satiety. Intuitively, I wanted cake with frosting and when I felt full I stopped (6 slices later).
What do you think; will “intuitive eating” work for you? I guess it didn’t work for me.

Intuitive eating might not work with everyone. I know if I see something like the yummie picture dessert, I might get it and share it with someone. But you might have individuals that might eat the whole thing without knowing the satiety level.
It requires a compromise between knowing portion sizes and eating without restrictions. But it will take time to create healthier habits, they do not happen overnight
