Eating behavior is a behavior that is easily affected by the individual's lifestyle, social environments and emotional state. Intuitive eating is; It is a nutritional approach that the individual performs only in response to physical hunger and satiety signals without being affected by other stimuli. Intuitive eating is a new understanding of nutrition as an alternative to strict diet programs that tell individuals what foods to eat at what times and in what quantities. In intuitive eating, the individual's dietary guide is only his own body. Physiological signals from the body direct the person to the right food at the most appropriate time. Intuitive eating is a more sustainable method than dieting because it does not contain certain restrictions and is more effective in maintaining ideal body weight in the long run. In contrast to traditional weight loss methods, intuitive eating is thought to be a new intervention in the prevention and treatment of obesity. Intuitive eating behavior is associated with lower body mass index, lower blood pressure, and ideal cholesterol levels. From a psychological point of view, it has been seen that individuals who eat intuitively are negatively associated with body image disorders and eating disorders. There are many studies that include the effects of intuitive eating, which emerged as an approach to diet logic, on physiological and psychological health. Future studies are expected to reveal many more positive effects of intuitive eating on the human body. In this review, the effects of intuitive eating on human psychology and physiology are summarized.
