Let me tell you something first. I lived the diet life just like you. I remember myself when I entered high school, I was struggling with desire to be skinnier and comparing myself to others. I started cutting calories and I found myself in the middle of the diet world. I was convinced that if I could just “stick with my diet” one more time, then I would be able to lose the weight and obviously look good. I mean of course this didn’t happen, I would blame myself for lacking self control as we generally do, and promised myself to “try harder next time”. You know what, I knew I’d have to break my diet because it never works.

Even though I knew the problem wasn’t my weight or how I looked. The truth was I wasn’t happy with myself. I was comparing myself with other girls in volleyball team. I was so stressed before competitions as I wasn’t willing to wear those short shorts. I found myself lost. I felt absolutely depressed all the time. Then when I started Nutrition and Dietetic school (with %100 scholarship) I thought I could learn how to lose weight, I could be more successful with the diets I try. I even tried keto (I know it sounds %100 insane) to lose weight in my 3rd year and I found myself with no energy after a week. However, I can say that was an amazing experience for me, because you know what, I understood that diets absolutely do not work and the problem is absolutely not me.

I learned what I was missing in life wasn’t a thin body, but connection with myself and who I want to be, what I want to experience, and how I want to feel. I saw clearly for the first time that my desire to be small was keeping me from living a bigger life. Fast forward years and I have finally found the balance that works for me. I found the intuitive eating.

As you can see I used to be where you are. And it took ages to get out of this. The truth is you didn’t get food rules overnight, and you won’t ditch them that fast, however, I do believe you will get there soon.

I know feeling comfortable around eating is not easy. So many people are thinking felt like they are the only one going through this. However, you definitely not alone in this road. (At least I am here)

As every nutrition and dietetic student, I come from an educational system that taught to write a nutrition program by counting calories. During my teenage years, I believed in the existence of bad foods, and I tried dozens of diets to lose weight. I mean, I’ve been where you are right now, and I definitely can say that’s not a way to live the life!

After years of weight loss and weight regain cycles, I developed unhealthy relationships with food and restricted what I ate. My relationship with food got worse day by day. Then I was introduced to intuitive eating, which was developed by two American registered dietitians – Evelyn Tribole and Elyse Resch. I started NT Nutrition after discovering that there was a way to find a way to make peace with food and enjoy food freely forever. Because I want to help my clients rediscover their love of food, too. I know how amazing it sounds.
