It’s fascinating how we’re born with this really cool system
within our bodies that communicates when to eat (hunger!) and when
to stop (fullness!). Yet so many of us are caught up in following
restrictive meal plans and obsessive calorie counting that we’re
not even noticing these physical cues.
On this week’s episode of the Fat Murder Podcast, join co-coach,
Eileen Trujillo, and me as we discuss how to use fullness as your
secret weight loss weapon.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
▪️How fullness is a great way to monitor how your body responds to
certain foods based on its daily caloric needs.
▪️How our caloric needs vary widely based on a whole slew of
variables — activity level, sleep patterns, menstrual cycle,
thermic effect of food (TEF), etc.
▪️Understanding the varying degrees of fullness and the physical
sensations you experience
▪️The ways in which being more aware of fullness can help you
manage portions, control emotional eating, and know when to stop
eating
It seems like most of us only know TWO modes of eating: STARVING or
STUFFED. Very rarely do we actually take the time to slow down and
sit quietly alone with our food and observe our physical cues.
The truth is, your success is hanging out in the grey, not in the
extremes.
Is this easy? Hello no! It takes a ton of practice and patience,
but through persistent practice, it becomes easier to identify your
body’s ideal needs to effortlessly maintain a healthy weight.
Do you struggle to stop eating when your body says no but your mind
says more? What are your current fullness struggles?
Check out this episode and let us know what you think.
