Episode 278: Managing Your Hunger

Managing your hunger is about working with your body, not fighting against it. A great tool is the hunger scale, which helps you gauge how hungry you are on a scale from 1 (starving) to 10 (stuffed). Aim to eat when you're around a 3 (hungry but not starving) and stop at a 7 (satisfied but not full). Also, focus on eating foods that are rich in nutrients and fiber. These types of foods fill you up and keep you feeling satisfied longer because they take more time to digest. By eating this way, you're listening to your body and giving it what it needs, which makes managing hunger much easier.
