This research presents an in-depth idiographic study that illustrates how learning to eat intuitively involves socio-cultural challenges, strategies of resistance and self-actualising processes. Interviews were conducted with eight women who had been practising intuitive eating (IE) for at least 1.5 years. Data was analysed using IPA and four themes were drawn inductively from the data: IE as an ongoing process, perceived judgement of others, strategies of resistance and processes of self-actualisation. Further research is needed to explore experiences of learning to eat intuitively amongst different samples and with different cultures, and to further investigate the relationship between IE and the actualising tendency.

这项研究提出了一项深入的具体研究，说明学习直觉饮食如何涉及社会文化挑战、抵抗策略和自我实现过程。对 8 名已经练习直觉饮食 (IE) 至少 1.5 年的女性进行了采访。使用 IPA 分析数据，并从数据中归纳出四个主题：IE 作为一个持续的过程、对他人的感知判断、抵抗策略和自我实现过程。需要进一步的研究来探索不同样本和不同文化中学习直觉饮食的经历，并进一步探讨 IE 与实现倾向之间的关系。
