Listening to Your Body: Navigating Unusual Hunger Days


Listen Later


A few days ago, I had a day where my hunger was just ravenous, and I didn't understand why.

I normally have a pretty consistent eating pattern and am very much in tune with how much food my body needs to feel good, satisfied and energized.

If my hunger gets throw off, I typically know why. Perhaps my meal was smaller than usual, or lacking carbs, and needed more protein.

However, on this particular day, I couldn't understand why, no matter how much I ate, I still felt hungry. Real, physical hunger.  Not emotional hunger.

In the past when I was struggling with my relationship with food, this would have been met with judgement, criticism and shame. I would have said things to myself like "you can't possibly be hungry AGAIN, you did ate!"

However,  I now handle these weird eating days completely differently now,  and I know how to honour my hunger is a way that feels good, free from guilt or anxiety. 

And that's exactly what we're talking about in today's episode.  

Honouring your hunger is key to healing your relationship with food,  but it can be challenging if you're used to avoiding it (like distracting yourself by going for a walk), pushing it off (like drinking a black coffee instead of eating), or tricking it (like eating popcorn instead of more substancial food).

In this episode, you'll hear;

  • How I used to view hunger and why it disrupted my ability to listen to my body 
  • How I've changed my relationship with hunger to honour my body's needs
  • The questions I ask myself when I notice my appetite is different
  • How I let my body guide my food choices 
  • How to navigate weird eating days where your hunger or cravings are more intense than usual
