![Intuitive eating rests on the idea that you should listen to your body & eat what & when you feel like it.
❗ Although this approach may work for some, it is important to consider that your body’s hunger cues may not always be accurate.
For instance, a study concluded that in elite female endurance athletes, quick workouts, no matter how intense, could suppress their appetites immediately post exercise [2].
If these athletes followed intuitive eating & listened to their body’s hunger cues, they would FAIL to recover nutritionally!
❓ Why?
🍞 Your body needs carbs post exercise to promote muscle glycogen resynthesis & it needs it within 30-60 minutes post exercise for best results. In fact, studies show that if carbs are consumed just 2 hours post workout, the rate of muscle glycogen resynthesis greatly decreases [1].
🥩 Similarly, your body needs protein post exercise to help rebuild muscle proteins. Muscle protein rebuilding occurs at a faster rate if protein is consumed within 30-60 minutes post exercise. If protein is consumed 3 hours post exercise, it will NOT help to repair damaged muscle tissues [3].
👎 Over time, repeatedly failing to recover nutritionally after exercise can worsen subsequent training sessions & impair athletic performance [1].
⚠️ In severe cases, this can lead to Low Energy Availability (LEA)-- a state where an individual does not consume enough calories to maintain basic biological functions [4]. This can lead to more harmful health consequences including increased injury risk & depression [5].
So, intuitive eating isn’t right for everyone. We recommend that our athletes recover properly within an hour post workout with both carbs & protein, even if they don’t feel hungry.
