Listen to your body's hunger and fullness cues from "summary" of The Healthiest Diet on the Planet by Dr. John McDougall
Our bodies are incredibly smart and are equipped with mechanisms that tell us when we are hungry and when we are full. These cues are our body's way of communicating its needs to us. When we listen to these cues and respond accordingly, we can maintain a healthy relationship with food and avoid overeating or undereating.
Hunger is a natural signal that our bodies send when they need nourishment. It is important to pay attention to these signals and eat when we are truly hungry. Ignoring hunger cues can lead to overeating later on, as our bodies try to compensate for the lack of nourishment. By listening to our hunger cues and eating when we are truly hungry, we can avoid unnecessary snacking and mindless eating.
On the other hand, it is equally important to pay attention to our body's fullness cues. Our bodies are adept at letting us know when we have had enough to eat. Eating past the point of fullness can lead to discomfort and bloating. By tuning in to our fullness cues and stopping when we are satisfied, we can prevent overeating and promote better digestion.
It can be easy to get distracted and ignore our body's hunger and fullness cues, especially in today's fast-paced world. However, by making a conscious effort to listen to these signals, we can better understand our body's needs and foster a healthy relationship with food. Trusting our bodies to guide us in when and how much to eat can lead to improved overall health and well-being.
Incorporating mindfulness practices such as paying attention to our hunger and fullness cues can help us become more in tune with our bodies and make better choices when it comes to nourishing ourselves. By listening to our body's signals and responding appropriately, we can support our health and well-being in a natural and intuitive way.
