I want them. She pointed out that if I did eat

french fries for a number of consecutive meals,

guiltlessly, I would want something else. It’s

impossible to envision this scenario.

What about inflammation? Detoxification?

Nutrition? The obesity epidemic? Standards

of beauty? Resch knocked these down like

so many Cadbury Creme Eggs. (1) Worrying

over everything you eat causes an increase in

the stress hormone cortisol, which is known

to cause cancer growth. That’s worse than

inflammation. (2) The very idea that we are

toxic—the premise for detoxification—is toxic.

If you are after wellness, you should feel good.

You can’t put health over the horizon line and

expect to achieve it. (3) Infants and toddlers eat

intuitively. This has been proven. Resch didn’t

bring it up, but I’ve read a fascinating 1928

study by a pediatrician named Clara M. Davis

who tested nutritional intuition with a cohort

of toddlers. The toddlers were presented with

34 foods at each meal for a number of years.

Nurses administering the study were under

strict instruction to show no bias for any food

over another. The children not only ate a var-

ied diet, but all ended up remarkably healthy.

(4) Diet culture has grown as our dietary crisis

and rates of unhealthy weight have increased.

Whatever we are doing isn’t working! There is

no better evidence than the millions of years

before ours. In essence, Resch said, sipping her

Domaine du Bagnol and dabbing butter on

her baked potato, if there is no rule to break,

no code against which to cheat, longing itself

takes on a different flavor: Without restriction,

what need is there to indulge?

“Do you know why intuitive eating is hav-

ing such a moment?” Resch asked provoca-

tively. “It’s Trump.” After so many decades

of being told to be thinner—which, she notes,

coincided with women entering the work-

place—women have had enough. “Trump

pushed us over the edge. We won’t stand for

being told how to look or sound or be any-

more.” The overt misogyny of the current

administration might, according to her theory,

spur actual liberation from restrictive eating.

As we said good night, Resch left me with

a gentle reminder: If you can’t really eat for

yourself, you are always in a state of friction.

“But you can begin practicing your intuition

at any time,” she said. “It’s really very simple.”

It sounded religious, I remarked. She replied,

“It’s intuitive.” @
