My main issue is that sometimes i just think about food and want it, and i dont know how to stop myself from going and grabbing said food.

Wishing everyone who reads this and suffer from emotional eating/hunger because of etc. I hope you'll overcome this situation!

Sometimes if you're tired and or sleepy it tells your brain that you're hungry... So, get some rest.

Drink water! When you can't tell if you're hungry or not, drink some water. You might just be thirsty. Also drinking a full glass of water before you eat can help with portion control.

You nailed it right here.... 07:06 was me! What I do now is either chew on a piece of gum or if I'm home I brush my tongue especially all the way in the back. Drink plenty of water and the urge goes away. Right now I'm doing the 16:8 fasting and I swear I'm hardly hungry only when it gets closer to the time I'm suppose to eat. I truly forgot what hunger felt like bc I was always good luck people this stuff isn't

This is one of the clearest explanations I've ever heard about "emotional eating" and being able to differentiate it from legitimate physical hunger. Thanks and great work, Dani!

My tip is... don't watch recipe videos on youtube if you're hungry 😃

"I want something in my mouth" 😶 sorry I had to 😂

It's not always possible to eat only when you are hungry, i mean if you at school and you do not eat when it's lunchtime because you were not hungry, But 2 hours later you are, you just can't start eating lunch in the middle of Class.
I always thought the feeling of hunger was the same for everyone. It's like weird to see someone explain the feeling of hunger

This is honestly revolutionary and straight forward advice. I personally lost 50 lbs eating this way over only a couple of months. I hate being sweaty so exercise isn’t my cup of tea. When you said that you feel fake hunger more in your mouth than stomach that REALLY resonated with me. Because even though I have achieved this practice and have continued to maintain it for the last year - that description has allowed me to now put into words the difference between these two feelings. The only thing I would add which I think is missing from much info about the “eating only when hungry” style of nutrition/weight loss is also - portion control! If we are eating only when hungry but then eating too much at one time - it will be such a long time till we feel hungry again that it becomes easier to justify eating when not hungry. So I would recommend that people also reduce your meal size portions to about 2/3 of normal (I just do this visually). You can substitute pretty much any amount of veggies to make up for the missing amount of your main meal if it makes you feel better mentally about the reduction in food. If you eat smaller portions, you will get hungry more frequently and therefore give yourself the opportunity and permission to indulge in the reward of food again! The biggest thing I have realized from eating this way is - there is always more food. There will always be more opportunities to eat so we don’t need to eat so much at one time. Wait until we actually feel the need - and then I promise you your food will also be 10x as satisfying and tasty than if you are just eating out of habit. :)

This video gave me actual tools I can use to determine hunger levels. Thank you so much for this.

Good information. I try to eat only when I'm hungry without being tied to the time of day, i.e. lunch, dinner etc. I live alone so this is easy and I find if I am truly hungry I can get to the feeling of "satisfaction" and stop at that point. I am tempted to go to "full" but I keep reminding myself my body needs fuel only to the point where it's satisfied and no more. Anything after that point is extra calories I don't need. If I'm not truly hungry and eat I don't arrive at the that feeling of being satisfied. It never happens for me. That's how I can tell the difference. Took me many years of learning that. I still struggle at times but I try.

i eat emotionally because i have crippling depression

Quarantine has me sleeping three days in a row then eating when I’m bored bc I have nothing else to do 🥰✨🦋

[jacquelynmswright]

OMG! These tips are so on point. Once I realized that true hunger is felt in my stomach, I learned that my mouth and eye hungers are false. This has helped me so much. Thanks.

This was very helpful 🌸 I always tell people that I’m not hungry and I eat when I think about food: that’s the reason why I am overweight.
But it never occurred to me that I need to listen to the cues my body gives. I know it sounds stupid but no one told me how to identity hunger.

[sarahasaj]

When I star eating in a day, I can not stop eating. I have such a lust for food, I constantly need to chew something and i feel sick if I don't eat till I go to sleep. That is why I practice intermittent fasting. I start eating at 7:00 in the evening and I eat non stop til 10:00 when I go to bed. Couse if I start eating in the morning I would be fat as a wardrobe. I cannot help myself, I get into agony if I don't have anything to eat, even if I feel full and can barely move. :'(

Great video- I read somewhere that "if you are not hungry enough to eat an apple, then you are not really hungry". I find that to be very true for me. I use that as my litmus test :)

[susangrogan]

Thank you for the part where you mentioned the mouth hunger instead of real hunger in the stomach. That is a real helpful explanation and tip.
