| An Introduction to Intuitive Eating
Thursday, January 18, 2018 – 5:30pm to 6:30pm
City Market, Downtown Store (map)
 Do you feel inundated by messages of what and what not to eat? Intuitive eating is a refreshing alternative to the prescriptive, conflicting and harmful dieting culture. Instead of telling you what to eat, it teaches your how to eat. This 1-hour class will briefly introduce you to the 10 principles of Intuitive eating and teach you how they can help you create a healthy relationship between the body, mind, food, and exercise. This class is led by Kerri-Ann Jennings, a registered dietitian and educator who’s trained with Intuitive Eating author Evelyn Tribole.
