Dealing With Hunger and Satiety
We’ll start with learning to understand internal hunger and satiety cues …
Research has discovered that the inability to recognize when you are full is one of the reasons emotional eaters overeat:
Instead, grab your predetermined portion of pizza (2 or 3 slices) then put the rest in the refrigerator before you start eating.
Not stuffing yourself at every meal will feel odd at. You’ll want to go back for another helping after you’ve finished off your predetermined portion.
After a while you start to develop a healthier relationship with food and the process of eating smaller portions will become automatic.
Because they were unable to suppress their food consumption, individuals who experienced binge-eating episodes engaged in emotional eating.
The solution to this is determining the exact portions of food you will eat with each meal ahead of time.
You continue eating well past the point of satiety or being full.
Individuals of normal weight who engage in emotional eating have been found to consume less food in response to negative emotions than individuals with overweight or obesity.
Because stress alters one’s ability to be aware of these internal cues, in part.
Do not order a large pizza and keep eating until you feel like stopping.
Emotional eating has been associated with reduced awareness of internal hunger.
You won’t feel like crap after eating and won’t need an hour or two of rest to digest massive meals.
It won’t take long to realize how much better these controlled portions make you feel.
Don’t give in.
When to stop, what this means is that once you start eating you have trouble knowing when to stop.
Remember, a healthy mindset and relationship with food is a process. Don’t be hard on yourself.
Take it one step at a time. Rmember being healthy and having a flat belly should be fun.
