Continuing our series on Intuitive Eating, Kristin Williams, a registered dietitian and certified eating disorder specialist, comes back to discuss the fourth principle of intuitive eating: challenging the food police.

Kristin explains the importance of distinguishing between mindfulness and obsession and offers practical steps for challenging harmful food rules.

We discuss:

• Won't eating whatever we want lead to weight gain?
• How avoiding ultra-processed foods can appropriately fall into intuitive eating
• The confusion so many people face
• Challenging the food rules
