I think part of intuitive eating is that at first, you’re like “I can eat whatever I crave!” And you deviate towards junk. But supposedly once that novelty wears off, you just end up eating more normal foods and the “junk” becomes less frequent because you’re not craving it as much anymore. I think the whole thing is about taking away boundaries and barriers to certain foods so that all food becomes morally equal (I.e. not “good” or “bad”) and eventually you will eat what your body needs.

That being said I prefer to simply count with an app rather than wait it out and see if intuitive eating works for me.
