What's going on everybody? Welcome back to another episode of the Mind Over Macros

podcast. As always, I'm your host Mike Milner and I apologize if I don't sound like my normal self. I'm battling a little bit of a cold right now.

Hopefully it'll pass quickly, but it's been kind of annoying. I feel okay. Energy is fine, I still been able to get my

workouts in, but just you know one of those like little nagging coals that is

not the best to deal with. But anyway, I'm getting this episode in because I've got an important topic to talk about and this was something that was asked to me by one of my clients and I thought it was a great question and I wanted to do a whole

episode on it. So the question was, when do you think it's appropriate to move

to intuitive eating and she also asked like what that process looks like so for

somebody who has been tracking macros or is even new to just you know paying attention

to their nutrition when is it appropriate to try to

switch to an intuitive approach and that's something that I thought would make a

great podcast episode because there's a lot to talk

about here. You know if you think about how we evolved as humans, Intuitive

eating wasn't you know this was just we didn't even have to label it because that's just what we did

You know in as we evolved it was there were periods of time where food was pretty scarce and so fasting was kind of normal.

There were times where you would have more food available like if you had a successful hunt

and there was a lot of food around.

So there was times where we ate a little bit more and depending on the seasons,

obviously that would determine what kinds of foods were available and when.

We didn't really have to think it was just

about survival. So it was very you know kind of straightforward. Now obviously the

food environment is vastly different and it's presented a whole host of new problems that we

never really had to deal with.
