Understanding the Two Types of Hunger

In order to lose weight controlling and managing hunger is a key skill that you need to master. ⁣

Unfortunately it is very hard to tell why you are hungry. Hunger can be divided into 2 main areas - Hedonic and Physiologic. The later is due to your body actually needing calories; the former is not.⁣
⁣
To further complicate the situation - you can’t sense how many calories you have eaten (that is a skill you lose after you leave infancy). 
⁣
Sounds bleak but I have your back with some tried and true ways to master hunger so that you can reach your weight loss goal.

This episode we discuss:

• The difference between physiologic and hedonic hunger.
• Strategies for trying to tease out the difference between the two.
