title: Intuitive eating: a holistic approach to weight control.
abstract: As obesity rates continue to rise, it is clear that more holistic and homeostasis-friendly alternatives to dieting are needed. Dieting and restraint disrupt homeostasis and cause physical, emotional, and spiritual distress. Intuitive eating is an alternative that focuses on body's internal cues of hunger and fullness to guide how much to eat.
