Intuitive eating
Like other Fat Acceptance activists Ragen believes in "intuitive eating" which is based around becoming more attuned to the body's natural hunger signals is a more effective way to attain a healthy weight, rather than keeping track of the amounts of energy and fats in foods. They claim that they control body fat through Intuitive eating, the belief that if they carry on eating junk food there bodies will start to crave healthier food as well. Regen claims this works for and that her weight has stabilised and that she looks the same as she always has. People believe this because Ragen mainly uses a 3+ year old picture (see above) for her blog posts but her weight increase can be clearly seen in the more up to date picture below:
