    Ep 216: How to stop night-time eating

    The evenings are a problem time for eating for so many women. This episode will help you understand why this might be the case for you, why it's important to you to change this habit, and gives you tips for navigating those persistent urges successfully. Addressing this habit will change your experience of food and eating, as well as make a huge difference to your results. Don't forget that you deserve to feel the best you possibly can! Here's the hunger scale I mentioned: The Hunger Scale The hunger scale helps you reconnect with your body's natural cues. The goal is not to be perfect. The goal is to become aware. Use it to notice: When your body is asking for foodWhen you've had enoughWhen you're eating for reasons other than hunger-10 — Extremely Hungry You feel desperate for food. You may feel shaky, lightheaded, irritable or unable to focus. At this point, your body is asking for food urgently and it can be much harder to make calm, intentional choices. -8 — Very Hungry Strong hunger signals are present. You are very aware you need food and are thinking about eating frequently. Hunger feels overpowering and like an emergency. -6 — Hungry You feel clear physical hunger. Where is food now? I must get food. -4 — Gently Hungry You can feel hunger building. You feel ready for food but you’re calm and able to choose what you want to eat. This is a great place to begin eating. -2 — Slightly Hungry You are starting to notice hunger cues. You could eat now, or wait a little while. 0 — Neutral You feel neither hungry nor full. Your body feels settled. +2/3 — Satisfied Your physical hunger has gone. You feel comfortable in your clothes, nourished and energised. You could easily move on with your day with ENERGY. This is the place we’re aiming to stop. +4 — Full You feel satisfied and aware that you have eaten. You are quite comfortable, but you may notice food sitting in your stomach and you feel less energised to do things. +6 — Quite Full You feel heavier. You may feel less energised or comfortable and want to lean back, exhale and stay seated! +8 — Very Full You feel uncomfortable. You have eaten beyond what your body needed. +10 — Overfull You feel stuffed. Your body feels uncomfortable and you may regret continuing to eat. How To Use The Hunger Scale Before eating, ask: "Am I physically hungry?" During your meal, slow down and check in: "Has my hunger gone?" The aim is: Start eating around -4 Stop eating around +2/3 (if you get to +4 it's OK -- stay conscious!)Remember: You do not need to eat until you feel full. You need to eat until you feel satisfied. Hunger is not something to fear. Your body is designed to guide you and more food is always coming. The more you listen, the more you rebuild trust with yourself. ❤️
