Welcome to Healthy Not Hungry, a podcast that redefines what it means to be healthy in a realistic and maintainable way. Your host, Rachel Doss, Clinical Nutritionist and Personal Trainer, explores a wide range of health and well-being topics every week. In this solo episode, Rachel delves into different eating habits and patterns and provides actionable tips to help you better understand your eating behaviour and optimise it for health and well-being.
Types of Eaters and How to Identify Them:
The Emotional Eater
Emotional eaters turn to food to fulfil emotional needs rather than hunger. This can result in overeating, especially of high-calorie or comfort foods. Rachel shares her own experience as an emotional eater and explains how different emotions (happiness, stress, sadness) can influence eating behaviour.
The Unconscious Eater
This type of eater consumes food without much thought, often driven by food being available rather than hunger. Rachel discusses how unconscious eating can stem from habits formed in childhood, scarcity mindsets, or as a way to avoid unpleasant tasks.
The Habitual Eater
Habitual eaters thrive on routine and may eat the same foods daily. While this can lead to healthy habits, disruptions to routine can result in overeating or neglecting exercise. Rachel notes that men, in particular, may fit this pattern, but warns of the risks when routine is broken.
The Critical Eater
Critical eaters are highly knowledgeable about nutrition but tend to have an all-or-nothing mindset, which can lead to obsessive eating habits. Rachel discusses how this can result in disordered eating, yo-yo dieting, and body dysmorphia.
The Sensual Eater
Sensual eaters enjoy food for its flavours and experiences, often without considering its impact on their health. While this can foster a healthy relationship with food in moderation, Rachel explains how it can lead to physical health issues if not kept in check.
The Energy (Intuitive) Eater
Energy eaters listen to their body’s natural cues, fuelling it based on hunger and energy needs. While this approach is often positive, it can sometimes lead to overeating if there is a lack of awareness about calorie requirements. Rachel encourages a balanced approach, emphasising awareness without becoming obsessed with calorie counting.
Maximising Your Eating Habits for Health and Well-being
Rachelle offer strategies on how to turn each eating habit into a positive, health-supporting behaviour. She emphasises that no eating pattern is inherently bad, but with the right tools and awareness, you can take control of your relationship with food.
