Learning to listen for and recognize your body's biological hunger cues is an important part of learning how to eat intuitively.
We honour our hunger each time we respond to these cues with what our body needs most...food.
When we ignore, deny or suppress subtle cues for hunger, it doesn't go away. Our need to eat grows and feels more intense.
When you are ravenously hungry, all intentions to eat in moderation or with attunement go out the window.
Begin to pay attention to, trust and respond to your biological cues for hunger is another step towards building a positive relationship with food and your body and re-building body trust.
