Qualitative studies examining women's experiences of learning to eat more intuitively are scarce. We aimed to explore the experience of learning intuitive eating among mid-age women (n = 11) who participated in a web-based intuitive eating programme. Motivation to learn intuitive eating, perceptions of the experience of attempting to eat more intuitively, and facilitators and barriers to intuitive eating were explored using inductive thematic analysis. Findings suggest that women were able to learn to eat more intuitively; however, they encountered social and environmental barriers, and the 'unconditional permission to eat' aspect of intuitive eating was experienced as the most challenging.
