Hey friend!

One of the key components to breaking up with dieting is learning how to understand your body's signals...including hunger.

If you've dieted for a while (or ever in the past) then you might have some fear around hunger.

It could look like:

being afraid to feel hungry --> so you eat ahead of time/ over eat to NOT have to feel the deprivation that is often associated with the diet mentality

You may also find you have become accustomed to feeling hungry (and miserable) all the time..yet, instead of feeding your body, you suffer through the hunger until it goes away or is "time to eat".

Part of healing your relationship to food, is learning how to eat when you're hungry, and stop when you're not.

In this MVP episode, we breakdown how to understand your hunger, what it's trying to tell you, and eat in a calm, neutral manner---not ignoring your hunger cues, but also not overeating/ eating just to avoid ever feeling hungry.

Hunger is not a bad thing, it's just your body's way of letting you know it needs some food. Using the strategies from this episode will help you make peace with feeling hungry, not treating it like an emergency, and will help you honor your body with food (by not over or under eating).
