What this episode covers
For most people being hungry means a grumbling stomach, headaches, light-headedness, shakiness, irritability, fatigue, and inability to focus. Since eating removes the symptoms, they are mistakenly believed to be signs of hunger, but they are not. This pattern of "toxic hunger" causes people to constantly overeat and undermines any attempt to lose weight. Understanding true hunger could be a key factor in reversing this trend.
