Ep 239: The 5 Hungers That Sabotage Weight Loss (and How to Master Them


Listen Later

When you feel hungry… is it always about an empty stomach?

The truth is, hunger isn't just one thing—it's a chorus of signals. And most of them have nothing to do with actual physical need.

In my latest podcast episode, I'm breaking down the five types of hunger:

✅ Physical hunger ✅ Emotional hunger ✅ Environmental hunger ✅ Hedonic (pleasure-driven) and mindless habit hunger ✅ "Fake hunger" caused by blood sugar swings + leptin signaling

You'll discover how your subconscious interprets hunger cues, why certain routines and environments automatically switch on cravings, and how you can shift awareness to get back in charge.

If lasting weight mastery is your goal, this episode gives you the leverage point: learning to recognize and manage the right hunger at the right moment.

Come on in!

In This Episode, You'll Also Learn…

  • How to use the Hunger Scale to stop overeating, tune into your true fullness signals, and rebuild trust with yourself around food.
  • The surprising role of environment and habit loops in driving cravings—and how simple shifts in rules and stimulus control can break the cycle.

  • Why blood sugar swings and leptin resistance create "fake hunger," and how protein, fiber, and mindful eating can keep your appetite balanced.

  • Practical mindset and awareness strategies that let you interrupt cravings without relying on white-knuckled willpower.
