Food Reeducation Paris: Rebuilding a Peaceful Relationship with Eating
Introduction: When Eating Becomes a Daily Battle
"I don't know how to eat normally anymore." I hear this sentence regularly in my practice. Sarah, a 34-year-old British expat working in Paris, said it during our first consultation, her eyes welling up. After years of successive diets, restrictions followed by binges, she no longer trusted her hunger and fullness signals. Her story isn't isolated. In France, nearly 60% of adults have followed at least one weight-loss diet in their lifetime, and most find themselves with a disrupted relationship with food.
For expats living in France, this challenge is often compounded by additional factors: cultural differences around food, language barriers when seeking help, isolation from their usual support networks, and the stress of adapting to a new food environment. The French relationship with food - with its emphasis on pleasure, long meals, and rich culinary traditions - can be both enchanting and overwhelming for someone struggling with eating concerns.
Food reeducation (rééducation alimentaire in French) isn't another diet. It's a path toward reconciliation with your body and with the act of nourishing yourself. Unlike restrictive approaches that focus on what you "should" or "shouldn't" eat, food reeducation aims to restore an intuitive and compassionate relationship with food. It's a therapeutic process that requires time, patience, and appropriate support.
In this article, we'll explore together what food reeducation really is, why it differs from traditional diets, and how it can help you regain peaceful eating. My approach, as a bilingual dietitian specializing in eating disorders, always prioritizes compassion and respect for your unique story - whether you're French, an expat, or anywhere in between.
Understanding Food Reeducation: Far More Than Simple "Rebalancing"
What is food reeducation?
Food reeducation is a therapeutic process aimed at restoring a healthy and balanced relationship with eating. Unlike diets that impose strict external rules, food reeducation helps you reconnect with your internal signals of hunger, satiety, and pleasure.
According to France's Haute Autorité de Santé (HAS - the French national health authority), nutritional reeducation is an integral part of the treatment of eating disorders and obesity. It relies on a multidisciplinary approach combining nutritional, psychological, and behavioral aspects.
This approach recognizes that our relationship with food is deeply influenced by our emotions, personal history, culture, and past experiences. Food reeducation doesn't seek to "correct" your behaviors, but to understand what motivated them and to progressively build new habits more adapted to your real needs.
For international patients, this also means acknowledging that your relationship with food has been shaped by your home culture. The way you were taught to eat as a child, what foods mean comfort to you, how your family celebrated with food - all of this remains part of you, even thousands of miles from home. My bilingual practice allows us to explore these nuances in your language, without losing the subtleties of your experience.
The biological mechanisms of restriction
To understand why food reeducation is necessary, it's essential to understand what restrictive diets do to our body and brain.
When you restrict your food intake, your body interprets this as a period of famine. In response, it activates several defense mechanisms:
Slowing down of basal metabolism to conserve available energy
Increased production of ghrelin, the hunger hormone, making hunger sensations more intense
Decreased leptin, the satiety hormone, which delays the feeling of fullness
Increased activity in brain areas related to reward when faced with high-calorie foods
Reduced production of neurotransmitters like serotonin, affecting mood and potentially leading to food compulsions
These mechanisms explain why 95% of diets result in weight regain within 5 years. This isn't a personal failure - it's a normal biological response. Food reeducation takes this physiological reality into account and doesn't fight against your body, but works with it.
This biological reality is universal, but cultural responses to it vary widely. In Anglo-Saxon countries, there's often a focus on willpower and personal responsibility for weight. In France, while diet culture is certainly present, there's also a traditional emphasis on eating well as a pleasure and a right. Understanding these different perspectives can help you develop a more nuanced, compassionate view of your own eating journey.
Why traditional diets don't work: The restriction-compulsion cycle
If you've been through the diet cycle, you know this pattern well:
Week 1-2: Motivation is high. You follow the rules perfectly. The scale shows initial weight loss (mostly water). You feel in control.
Week 3-4: The initial euphoria fades. You're hungry. You think about food constantly. Social situations become stressful. You start feeling deprived.
Week 5-8: Cravings intensify. You have a "slip-up" - maybe that piece of birthday cake or that restaurant meal. The all-or-nothing thinking kicks in: "I've already ruined it, might as well keep eating."
Week 9+: The diet is over. The weight comes back, often with extra. You feel like you failed. You promise yourself you'll try harder next time.
This isn't failure. This is your body and brain responding exactly as they're designed to. Food reeducation breaks this cycle not by giving you a "better diet," but by helping you step off the diet merry-go-round entirely.
The Expatriate Factor: Unique Challenges for International Patients
Navigating food reeducation as an expat in France
Living abroad adds specific layers of complexity to eating concerns. If you're an expat in France dealing with disordered eating, you're likely facing challenges that your French counterparts don't experience.
Cultural displacement and food anxiety
Food is deeply tied to culture and identity. When you move to a new country, suddenly the foods that represented comfort and home aren't readily available. The French boulangerie on every corner might feel like a minefield if you're trying to avoid carbs. The French emphasis on multi-course meals might feel overwhelming if you're used to simpler eating patterns.
I've worked with British patients who felt paralyzed by French restaurant menus, American patients overwhelmed by the lack of nutrition labels on fresh foods, and Australian patients struggling with the smaller portion sizes but richer ingredients. These aren't just practical challenges - they touch on deep feelings of displacement and loss of control.
Language barriers in healthcare
Seeking help for eating concerns requires vulnerability. Trying to explain the nuances of your relationship with food in a second language adds an extra burden. Many English-speaking expats report feeling unable to fully express themselves when consulting French healthcare providers, or worse, feeling judged for linguistic mistakes.
In my bilingual practice, you can speak freely in English about your experiences, your emotions, and your concerns. We can also work together to help you navigate the French healthcare system in French when needed, but your therapeutic work happens in the language where you feel most yourself.
Isolation and lack of support networks
Many eating disorder recovery programs emphasize the importance of support groups and community. But if you're an expat, you might not have access to English-speaking eating disorder support groups, or you might feel disconnected from French-speaking groups due to cultural differences.
You might also be far from family and friends who know your history and can offer support. The isolation that often accompanies eating disorders is compounded by geographical isolation from your support network.
The stress of adaptation
Moving abroad, adapting to a new work culture, potentially dealing with visa stress - all of this is challenging even without eating concerns. But stress is a major trigger for disordered eating. The combination of adaptation stress and eating difficulties can create a vicious cycle.
Navigating the French healthcare system
If you're used to the American, British, Australian, or other healthcare systems, the French system can feel confusing. Here's what you need to know:
How dietitian consultations work in France
Unlike in some countries where dietitians are automatically covered by national health insurance, in France:
Dietitian consultations (including mine) are not automatically reimbursed by the national health system (Sécurité Sociale)
However, many private health insurance plans (mutuelles) do partially reimburse dietitian consultations
You don't need a doctor's referral to see a dietitian in France
Consultations typically range from 60-90 euros, with potential partial reimbursement
Booking appointments
In France, most healthcare appointments are booked through Doctolib, an online platform. You can book directly without calling, which is convenient if you're not comfortable speaking French on the phone. I offer both in-person consultations at my Paris offices and video consultations, which can be helpful if you're not yet comfortable navigating Paris or if you live outside the city.
Professional credentials in France
In France, dietitians (diététiciens) are healthcare professionals with specific training and registration. My credentials include:
RPPS number (national health professional identifier): 10007258733
ADELI number (regional health professional registration): 75 95 0878 1
These numbers are important if you're seeking reimbursement from your mutuelle.
Multidisciplinary care in France
French healthcare emphasizes multidisciplinary approaches for eating disorders. This often involves:
A psychiatrist or psychologist for mental health support
A dietitian for nutritional rehabilitation
Sometimes a general practitioner for medical monitoring
Potentially an endocrinologist if there are hormonal concerns
This team approach is evidence-based and effective, though it can feel bureaucratic compared to more streamlined systems in other countries. I work closely with a network of English-speaking mental health professionals in Paris and can help coordinate your care.
Signs That Food Reeducation Is Necessary
When your relationship with food becomes a source of suffering
It can be difficult to recognize when your relationship with food requires professional support. Here are some signs that food reeducation could be beneficial:
You think constantly about food, calories, or your weight
You alternate between periods of strict restriction and episodes of loss of control around food
You no longer trust your hunger and fullness signals
You categorize foods as "good" or "bad," generating guilt and shame
You avoid social situations involving food for fear of losing control
Your mood depends on what you've eaten during the day
You've done numerous diets with temporary results followed by weight regain
Eating has become a source of anxiety rather than pleasure
You find yourself eating in secret or lying about what you've eaten
You experience intense fear around certain foods or situations
You notice your thoughts about food and body interfering with work, relationships, or daily life
These behaviors are common after years of dieting or can be part of an eating disorder. The good news is that they can be addressed with appropriate support.
Eating disorders requiring reeducation
Food reeducation is particularly indicated in the treatment of several eating disorders.
Anorexia Nervosa
If you're suffering from anorexia nervosa in the refeeding phase, progressive food reeducation helps you reintroduce foods safely. This is often one of the most challenging aspects of recovery, as your mind tells you one thing while medical necessity demands another.
For international patients, anorexia treatment can be complicated by cultural differences in attitudes toward thinness and body size. We work together to disentangle what's clinically necessary from what's culturally influenced. For more information on this complex condition, see my article on anorexia nervosa. 📚
Bulimia Nervosa
In the case of bulimia, where restriction alternates with binge episodes, reeducation helps break the vicious cycle. Many expats report that bulimia symptoms worsen during stressful adaptation periods or when they feel particularly isolated.
The alternation between control and chaos, between "being good" and "being bad" with food, is exhausting. Food reeducation helps you find middle ground. Discover my complete therapeutic approach in my article dedicated to bulimia. 📚
Binge Eating Disorder
For binge eating disorder, characterized by food compulsions without compensatory behaviors, reeducation helps you identify emotional triggers and develop alternative strategies.
Many expats describe binge eating as a way of coping with loneliness, homesickness, or the stress of adaptation. My article on binge eating disorder explores these mechanisms in depth. 📚
ARFID (Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder)
ARFID or avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder also requires specific reeducation, particularly around sensory aspects of eating. This disorder, which involves limited food intake not motivated by body image concerns, can be especially challenging when moving to a new country with unfamiliar foods.
For international patients with ARFID, the challenge of adapting to French cuisine (with its strong textures, flavors, and food traditions) can be overwhelming. We work progressively and patiently to expand your food repertoire while respecting your sensory sensitivities.
Orthorexia and extreme "healthy eating"
While not officially recognized as a diagnosis in many classification systems, orthorexia - an obsession with eating only "pure" or "healthy" foods - is increasingly common, especially in expat communities where people may feel like they need to be "perfect" in every aspect of their lives.
The wellness culture that's particularly strong in English-speaking countries can morph into disordered eating. If you find yourself spending hours researching ingredients, avoiding entire food groups in the name of "health," or experiencing anxiety when you can't control every aspect of your food intake, food reeducation can help. My article on orthorexia and veganism explores this complex intersection. 📚
The Therapeutic Approach: How Food Reeducation Works
Personalized and progressive support
Food reeducation isn't a standardized method applied identically to everyone. It's a tailor-made journey that respects your pace, your history, and your specific needs.
Phase 1: Initial assessment
During the first consultations, we take time to explore together your food history, current habits, emotional triggers, and objectives. I also perform a complete nutritional assessment to identify any potential deficiencies and understand your current nutritional status.
For expat patients, this also includes exploring:
Your relationship with food in your home country
How moving abroad has affected your eating patterns
Cultural factors influencing your food choices
Your support network (or lack thereof) in France
Language comfort and preferred communication style
Phase 2: Deconstructing beliefs
Before we can rebuild a healthy relationship with food, it's often necessary to deconstruct the erroneous beliefs propagated by diet culture. We explore together:
Nutritional myths that influence your choices
Rigid food rules you may have adopted
Guilt and shame related to eating
Unrealistic expectations about weight and body
Black-and-white thinking patterns
Cultural messages about food, body, and worth
This phase is particularly important for expats, as you may be carrying diet culture messages from your home country while also encountering French attitudes toward food and body.
Phase 3: Reconnecting with internal signals
This central phase involves relearning to listen to your body. We work on:
Recognizing true physical hunger versus emotional hunger
Identifying satiety signals
Respecting these sensations without judgment
Tolerating temporary discomfort
Understanding that hunger and fullness exist on a spectrum, not as binary states
Learning that it's okay to eat when you're not hungry sometimes, and okay to stop before you're completely full sometimes
This is a gradual learning process that requires practice and self-compassion. For many expats, this is complicated by the fact that stress, jet lag, and disrupted routines may have already disconnected you from these signals.
Phase 4: Progressive exposure and diversification
If certain foods have become "forbidden" or a source of anxiety, we reintroduce them progressively in a safe framework. The objective is to:
Neutralize their emotional charge
Allow for true food diversity
Ensure nutritional and psychological balance
This might mean gradually reintroducing French bread if you've been avoiding carbs, or exploring new French foods if your diet has become overly restrictive. We work at your pace, always.
The importance of multidisciplinary support
Food reeducation is often more effective when it's part of comprehensive care. According to recommendations from the French Federation for Anorexia Bulimia (FFAB), optimal support for eating disorders combines several areas of expertise.
As a specialized dietitian, my role is to support you with the nutritional and behavioral aspects of your relationship with food. However, I work in a network with other professionals:
Psychologists or psychiatrists to explore emotional and psychological dimensions
General practitioners or endocrinologists for medical monitoring and management of comorbidities
Psychomotor therapists sometimes, to work on body image and body reconnection
This network approach isn't systematically necessary, but it can prove invaluable depending on your situation. My role is also to guide you toward appropriate professionals if needed - and I can connect you with English-speaking providers when possible.
Food Reeducation and Specific Issues
Food reeducation and weight loss: An objective to reconsider
Many people begin food reeducation with the primary goal of losing weight. This is a legitimate request, but one that deserves to be explored with nuance.
Recent research in nutrition shows that weight is a far more complex parameter than we once thought. It's influenced by numerous factors:
Genetics (which determines 40-70% of our weight)
Dieting history (which permanently impacts metabolism)
Hormones (thyroid, cortisol, sex hormones)
Gut microbiome
Sleep and chronic stress
Medications
Eating disorders
Socioeconomic factors
Trauma history
The Health At Every Size (HAES) approach, supported by numerous scientific studies, proposes shifting the focus from weight to overall health. Rather than seeking at all costs to reach a theoretical "ideal weight," the objective becomes to improve:
Your metabolic health (blood sugar, cholesterol, blood pressure)
Your psychological well-being
Your quality of life
Your relationship with your body and with food
In my practice, I regularly observe that when people stop fighting against their weight and focus on their relationship with food and their body, several positive changes occur:
Improvement in health markers (blood sugar, cholesterol, blood pressure)
Increased self-esteem and decreased depressive symptoms
Reduction or disappearance of food compulsions
Often, weight stabilizes at a level that may be different from the initial goal but represents their body's natural set point
For expats, the pressure around weight can be particularly intense. You may be comparing yourself to both your home country's beauty standards and French standards, finding yourself not quite fitting either. Working within a HAES framework can be particularly liberating, allowing you to define health and well-being on your own terms.
Food reeducation and neurodiversity
Neuroatypical individuals (autism, ADHD, giftedness) often face specific challenges in their relationship with food. Food reeducation must then adapt to these neurobiological particularities.
For autistic individuals (ASD), sensory aspects of eating can be particularly sensitive:
Textures, tastes, smells, or visual aspects can trigger strong reactions
Eating requires cognitive flexibility, which can be a challenge
Rigid eating routines are common and may require specific work
French cuisine, with its emphasis on texture, strong flavors, and complex preparations, can be especially challenging for autistic individuals. We work together to respect your sensory needs while gradually expanding your food options if desired.
For individuals with ADHD:
Impulsivity can manifest in food choices
Forgetting to eat or conversely constant grazing are common
Planning and organizational difficulties complicate meal preparation
Stimulation-seeking can lead to extreme or restrictive food choices
Living in France with ADHD adds another layer - the French emphasis on long, structured meals can feel unbearable for someone who needs movement and variety. We find solutions that work for your brain, not against it.
My article on neurodiversity and nutrition explores these issues and possible adaptations in depth. 📚
Food reeducation and PCOS
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is frequently accompanied by eating disorders, particularly binge eating disorder. The insulin resistance characteristic of PCOS creates fertile ground for food compulsions, particularly toward sweet foods.
Food reeducation in the context of PCOS requires a specific approach that takes into account hormonal fluctuations and their impacts on appetite and cravings. Discover my detailed approach in my article on PCOS and binge eating. 📚
Food reeducation for athletes and active individuals
If you're an athlete or very active person struggling with disordered eating, you face unique challenges. The fitness culture (particularly strong in English-speaking countries) often promotes extreme approaches to nutrition that can morph into eating disorders.
Red flags include:
Excessive focus on "clean eating" or specific macros
Compensatory exercise after eating
Inability to take rest days without anxiety
Social life revolving entirely around fitness and "healthy" eating
Performance declining despite increasing training intensity
Loss of menstrual cycle (for women) or decreased libido
Food reeducation for athletes focuses on adequate fueling, permission to rest, and separating your worth from your performance or appearance.
Living Food Reeducation Daily: Practical Tools
Concrete tools for progressing peacefully
Food reeducation doesn't end with your sessions with your dietitian. It's daily work that requires concrete tools and adapted strategies.
The compassionate food journal
Unlike traditional food journals that count calories, the compassionate journal I propose aims to note your observations without judgment:
Your hunger level before the meal (scale of 0 to 10)
What you ate and in what context
Your emotions before, during, and after
Your satiety level at the end of the meal
Any difficulties encountered
What you noticed about the experience
The objective isn't to monitor yourself but to get to know yourself better. These observations will serve as a basis for our exchanges and to identify recurring patterns.
Mindful eating
Mindful eating means paying attention to the eating experience, without distraction. Start with one meal per week where you eat:
Without phone, without television
Paying attention to sensations: colors, smells, textures, flavors
Observing sensations in your mouth and stomach
Slowing down the pace, putting down your utensils between bites
Noticing thoughts and judgments without engaging with them
This regular practice helps you reconnect with taste pleasure and better perceive your satiety signals.
Managing triggering situations
Identifying your emotional triggers for compulsions or restrictions is essential. We work together on alternative strategies:
Emotional regulation techniques (breathing, relaxation)
Pleasant non-food activities
Support network to call upon
Action plan for difficult moments
Self-compassion practices
Distraction techniques that actually work for you
Food reeducation and social life
One of the most challenging aspects of food reeducation is managing social situations. Family meals, restaurant outings, invitations to friends' homes can become sources of anxiety when you have a disrupted relationship with food.
For expats, this is compounded by:
Unfamiliarity with French menu items or meal structures
Pressure to try new foods or "experience French culture"
Isolation if you skip social events due to food anxiety
Different social norms around food refusal or dietary restrictions
We work together on:
Mental preparation before social events
Communication with your entourage (if you wish)
Managing social pressure around food
The right to say no without guilt
Celebrating small victories (accepting a slice of birthday cake, ordering what you really want at a restaurant)
Finding your own way to engage with French food culture that feels authentic to you
Testimonials and Hope: Food Reeducation as a Path to Freedom
Possible healing journeys
Let me share with you a few journeys (names changed to preserve anonymity) that illustrate the transformative power of food reeducation.
Marie, 42, freed from the diet-compulsion cycle
"After 25 years of successive diets, I no longer knew what eating normally meant. Every food was categorized as forbidden or allowed. The reeducation work was long - almost two years - but today, I can eat chocolate without guilt, I feel my hunger and satiety, and most importantly, I no longer think constantly about food. My weight stabilized naturally, without effort, and for the first time in my life, I feel at peace with my body."
Thomas, 28, recovering from anorexia nervosa
"Refeeding was the hardest part of my journey. Every meal was a battle against my disorder. But with the support of my dietitian and psychiatrist, I progressively reintroduced foods, learned to tolerate the discomfort of eating, and today, though vigilance remains necessary, I can enjoy a meal at a restaurant with my friends. That was unthinkable three years ago."
Emma, 35 (British expat), out of binge eating disorder
"Moving to Paris triggered my worst binge eating episodes. I felt so isolated, so stressed about everything - work, language, finding my place. Bingeing was my only comfort, but it made everything worse. Working with a bilingual dietitian who understood both my cultural background and my struggles made all the difference. It took time, but I've learned to manage my stress differently, and the binges have stopped. I actually enjoy French food now - something I never thought possible."
Jake, 31 (American expat), breaking free from orthorexia
"I came to Paris for work thinking I'd finally get 'healthy' - leave behind American junk food, embrace the Mediterranean diet, get lean. Instead, I became obsessed. Every meal was a calculation. Every ingredient scrutinized. I was miserable and ironically, my health markers were worse than ever due to the stress. Food reeducation helped me understand that health isn't about perfection. Now I can enjoy a croissant without three hours of compensatory exercise. That freedom is priceless."
These testimonials illustrate an important reality: food reeducation is a process that takes time. There's no miracle solution, no instant results. But the lasting changes that occur profoundly transform quality of life.
What scientific studies say
Scientific data confirms the effectiveness of non-restrictive food reeducation approaches.
A meta-analysis published in 2024 by the French Federation for Anorexia Bulimia shows that behavioral nutritional support programs:
Significantly reduce eating psychopathology (effect size of -0.46)
Decrease binge episodes (effect size of -0.20)
Are particularly effective in bulimia and binge eating disorder
Health At Every Size (HAES) approaches have also demonstrated their effectiveness in several areas:
Improvement in metabolic health markers independent of weight
Reduction in depressive symptoms and improvement in self-esteem
Significant decrease in restrictive and compulsive eating behaviors
Maintenance of benefits long-term, unlike restrictive diets
Better quality of life indicators
Improved body image and decreased body dissatisfaction
These scientific data validate what I observe daily in my practice: moving away from diet logic to adopt a compassionate approach centered on self-listening is not only more respectful, but also more effective long-term.
Conclusion: Toward Liberated Eating
Food reeducation isn't a destination but a journey. A journey that leads you:
From restriction to freedom
From guilt to compassion
From control to self-listening
From war with your body to reconciliation
From food fear to food peace
This process requires courage:
The courage to question years of conditioning
To trust your body when you've been taught to distrust it
To accept that the path is sometimes winding, with ups and downs
To believe you deserve a peaceful relationship with food
To ask for help when you need it
To be patient with yourself as you unlearn and relearn
But every step you take toward a more peaceful relationship with food is a victory.
You deserve to eat without guilt.
You deserve to listen to your body.
You deserve to nourish yourself with compassion.
And you deserve support that respects your pace and your uniqueness.
If you recognize yourself in this article, if you feel that your relationship with food is a source of suffering, please don't hesitate to reach out. The first consultation is a moment of listening and exchange, without judgment, to see together how I can accompany you on this journey.
For international patients, know that you can have this entire conversation in English, in a space where your cultural background is understood and respected. You don't have to navigate this alone, and you don't have to do it in a language that isn't your own.
Living and eating are two sides of the same coin.
Lighten your relationship with food and free yourself from what no longer serves you.
