93: How to tell if you’re physically hungry or mentally hungry (body hunger vs brain hunger deep dive)

One question I get asked often is, “How do I tell the difference between physical hunger and just mentally craving food?” This is a super important question because in order to have an easy relationship with food AND maintain a healthy weight for the rest of our lives, we need to learn how to eat from body hunger instead of brain hunger. In today’s episode, I go deep into the difference between these two types of hunger and what to do when you want to eat even though you’re not hungry.

I discuss…

Why your hunger and fullness cues can get “messed up”
How a history of disordered eating can impact hunger and fullness
What is body hunger?
What is brain hunger?
How to tell the difference between physical hunger and just mentally craving food
Why it’s so important to eat from body hunger
How eating when you’re hungry impacts your weight
What is the root cause of brain hunger?
How to deal with a mental desire for food when you’re not hungry
How your nervous system impacts your hunger
