Intuitive Eating Principle #4 is Challenge the Food Police.

The Food Police acts as a diet monitor telling you you're "good" for eating minimal calories or "bad" for eating that sliver of brownie that sounded good. Food police thoughts are negative, hopeless, and guilt-provoking.

Challenging these thoughts and messages requires an ability to initiate process thinking that helps chase these thoughts away with practicality, experience and scientific basis.

Intuitive Eating Principle #1 is Reject the Diet Mentality.
Pervasive diet culture tells us that we should and can lose weight quickly, easily and permanently if only we ___. Because human perfection is unattainable, we inevitably "fail" to adhere to such stringencies when the new diet stops working, weight is gained back, and guilt is high. This foundational first principle allows us to reject false thought processes and approaches so that we can truly embrace what our body was built to do - to tell us when it is hungry, full, what it needs for optimal functioning, and enjoy in balance what we want. This need not mean that we toss out all evidence-based guidelines that have been shown to parallel important health markers, but to reject unsupportive dieting approaches and lingo that leave us worse off than where we began.
