Intuitive Eating for Chronic Dieters: The Workbook: A Hands-On Guide to Practicing Mindful Eating, Building Body Trust, and Making Peace with Food - Paperback

by Chloe Vance (Author)

How to rebuild trust with food without rules, tracking, or turning intuitive eating into another diet-even if nothing else has worked for you.

Do you feel stuck between diet culture and "just listen to your body," with no idea what to do next?

Do hunger and fullness feel unreliable-or completely missing?

Do food rules still sneak in, even though you're "done with dieting"

If so, Intuitive Eating for Chronic Dieters: The Workbook is designed to bridge the gap between knowing and doing.

This hands-on workbook is a practical companion to Intuitive Eating for Chronic Dieters: A Practical, Quick-Start Guide to Mindful Eating, Body Trust & Real-Life Food Freedom. While the full book is recommended for deeper understanding, this workbook also stands on its own-guiding readers step by step through the real-life application of intuitive eating, without turning it into another rigid system.

Inside, readers are guided through gentle exercises, reflective prompts, scripts, and tools that address the most common frustrations with intuitive eating, including not feeling hunger or fullness, emotional eating, decision fatigue, food guilt, people-pleasing, and the fear of "doing it wrong." The tone is compassionate, practical, and refreshingly human-designed to support real bodies living real lives.

Rather than focusing on perfection or performance, this workbook helps readers build body trust, develop food confidence, and practice intuitive eating in everyday situations like restaurants, holidays, workdays, and stressful moments. Each module encourages curiosity over control, awareness over judgment, and progress over perfection.

This is not a diet plan.

It's not about willpower.

And it's not another set of rules disguised as freedom.

It's a safe, structured space to reconnect with the body-one gentle practice at a time.

Inside, you'll learn:

• A step-by-step framework for practicing intuitive eating in real life
• How to identify and dismantle hidden food rules (even the "reasonable" ones)
• Practical tools for reconnecting with hunger when cues feel muted or confusing
• How to tell the difference between physical hunger, emotional hunger, and habit
• A simple system for navigating meals without overthinking or guilt
• How to eat for satisfaction-without fear of loss of control
• Scripts for handling food comments, social pressure, and diet talk
• Tools for navigating emotional eating with compassion instead of shame
• Real-world guidance for restaurants, holidays, and workplace food situations
• A flexible approach to meal planning that isn't a diet
• Printable tools and templates to support daily practice
• A gentle 4-week reset to integrate intuitive eating skills
• How to treat your body like a partner-not a project
• And so much more!

This workbook is designed for anyone who has struggled with chronic dieting, food guilt, or confusion around intuitive eating-no prior experience required. Whether readers are brand new to intuitive eating or have tried and felt stuck, the tools inside meet them exactly where they are. Everything is flexible, optional, and grounded in compassion-not perfection.
