Question 3

Will you prescribe me a meal plan?

Accepted Answer

NO.

Don't worry! Just because we won't "prescribe" or dictate a certain meal plan for you to follow, we promise to still share our favourite recipes with you and come up with some delicious meal and snack ideas together if this is something you're looking for.

Meal plans are rigid and do not account for so many factors that influence our food choices (i.e. our mood, food security, personal preferences, cravings, culture, stress level, the list goes on...). Giving you a prescriptive meal plan would be creating "food rules" and we are not about that here. What we are about is promoting FOOD FREEDOM! We believe all foods fit (unless there is a personal or medical reason why certain ones wouldn't). Our approach does not include food restriction, counting calories, tracking macros, or weighing yourself.

We hope that you leave our sessions together feeling inspired and refreshed - with some new nourishing recipe ideas and answers to all of your nutrition questions.

Question 4

Will you ask me for my weight?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely not. We use a Health at Every Size® approach, which shifts the focus away from conversations about weight and on to health, regardless of shape or size.

Your weight is simply a measure of your relationship with gravity.
It tells us nothing about your self-worth.

At Intuition Nutrition, we use a WEIGHT-INCLUSIVE approach to care. Simply put, this means we focus on HEALTH, rather than the number on the scale.

We recognize that there are SO many factors that influence our health – genetics, age, behaviours, support systems in place (or lack thereof), environmental influences, food security, housing and community supports, mental health, relationship with food, access to medical care, financial security, social support, job security, the list goes on…

It is not a simple equation.

This is one of the reasons why we use an INTUITIVE EATING approach with clients. 
Intuitive Eating involves slowing down, listening to your body, savouring the flavour and being present – both in eating, and in life. You can read more about Intuitive Eating by checking out a previous FAQ.
