Intuitive Eating for Diabetes

Direct from Janice Dada--a certified intuitive eating counselor, certified diabetes care and education specialist (CDCES), and certified eating disorders specialist (CEDS)--a revolutionary, anti-diet approach to whole-body health. Teach your clients how to tune into the body’s natural intuition and get the upper hand on diabetes.

Weight loss is the conventional approach to managing diabetes, but evidence suggests that a sole focus on weight loss may be unhelpful and even harmful. Popular weight-based strategies increase food and body obsession, weight-cycling, low self-esteem, and disordered eating. It is time for a new, revolutionary approach to whole-body health that’s rooted in self-compassion.

This essential professional resource outlines the principles of Intuitive Eating—an effective, evidence-based, anti-diet approach to nutrition—for blood sugar management without restriction. Discover the root causes of diabetes, how to listen to the body for natural cues of hunger and fullness, and how to develop a more nourishing and sustainable relationship with food. Understand why dieting doesn’t work and help your clients finally break free from the cycle of shame, self-blame, and more weight gain.

Help your clients release the mainstream diet-culture idea that weight loss alone is essential to managing blood sugar and embrace the science and effectiveness of intuitive eating.
