TYPES OF HUNGER Mind Hunger ( Part 6/7) | Mexico Bariatric Services

This is the 6th type of hunger. Beware of this type of hunger to keep the pounds off. Recognize the type of hunger you have and troubleshoot accordingly.

Mind Hunger: Thoughts such as “I should eat less fat,” “I should eat more at lunch because I may not have time to make dinner tonight,” and “I deserve an ice cream cone” are examples of mind hunger. What your mind tells you changes based on the latest scientific study or your life situation. It can cause you to get caught up in extremes of “eat this, not that,” habits which can’t be sustained long term. Dr. Bay writes, “When we eat based upon the thoughts in the mind, our eating is usually based on worry.”

This form of hunger cannot be satisfied with food but is satisfied when we quiet our minds.
