When it comes to our hunger and how our body signals how much to eat, it’s down to another instinctual mechanism: our appetite. And if you can tune into it, it helps to regulate our health and weight without even thinking. | Lyndi Cohen Diet
Of course, part of the fun of being human means our appetite can be a little complex. There are three different types of hunger, with each manifesting in unique ways. As an accredited practising dietitian, here are my tips for recognising them and how best to respond so you can eat intuitively.Let’s start with the obvious one. Physical hunger is characterised by that growling stomach feeling or you might notice you become “hangry” when you let it go a bit far.
Ideally, you should never let your hunger get to the extreme, aiming to sit between 3-7.Unlike physical hunger, emotional hunger can come on quite quickly – and it may be all consuming. While physical hunger is satiated when you eat something , emotional hunger has quite specific needs. It can explain why you aren’t satisfied with a savoury meal until it’s been finished off with a bite of something sweet.
