Hello, I’m Rick Taylar, and this is Weight Loss Mindset! Overeating is mostly caused by emotional issues! Food has one simple function, to supply the body with the nutrition it needs to survive.  Learning to recognize true hunger from cravings is a key method to stop overeating. Give it a shot!   Learning the difference between psychological and physical hunger can help you stay on track and make healthier choices in your diet.  What Exactly is Psychological Hunger? Psychological hunger is about filling some void in your mind or your life. Unfortunately, no matter how much or what you eat, that void cannot be filled by food. This kind of eating behavior can lead to excess weight, more stress, more psychological strain, and a vicious cycle that's hard to break.  Here are five signs that'll help you decide if your eating habits are coming from your mind, not your stomach. Just knowing this can give you the ability to control it to some degree.  Is Your Hunger Actually Coming From Your Belly? Rate Your Hunger Level When You're Craving Specific Foods  You Suddenly Feel Hungry  Your Hunger Just Disappears Without Food  Learning to differentiate between physical and mental or emotional hunger can help you to resist your cravings and get your eating under control. It's the key to releasing yourself from the emotional patterns that guide your eating and enables you to focus on the nutrition your body needs and deserves. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/weightloss-mindset/message
