Who can benefit from intuitive eating?

IE is intended for everyone who wants to improve their relationship with food, whether they are following strictly prescribed diets to lose weight or restricting their eating habits to improve their health. According to IE, various eating personalities may benefit from this approach — for example, “careful eaters” who scrutinize every food situation, people who constantly diet and jump from a diet to the latest trendy one, and “unconscious eaters” who are unaware of when they eat because it often happens while doing something else, like watching TV, working, or studying.^[1] More research is required to assess the benefits of following an IE approach for specific groups of people, such as people with eating disorders, people with obesity, and people with chronic illnesses.
