The Hunger Scale: Understanding Your Physical Hunger [Ep. 1]

The Hunger Scale: Understanding Your Physical Hunger [Ep. 1]

When you're coming off of calorie/macro/point counting it can be tricky to figure out how much to eat.  In this episode I give you a very simple tool to determine the right amount for your body.  Your body is smarter than you give her credit! You'll learn how to listen to her--when to start eating and when to stop.

Key takeaways:

  • what does physical hunger look like
  • how to use your own body for hunger and fullness cues for weight loss
  • what is a meal vs. snack
  • the 3•3•3 method

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:00.989
I'm Lisa Salisbury.

00:00:00.989 --> 00:00:03.330
And this is episode one, the hunger scale.

00:00:07.123 --> 00:00:14.022
Welcome to Eat Well, Think Well, Live Well; the podcast for women who want to lose weight, but are tired of counting and calculating all the food.

00:00:14.653 --> 00:00:16.213
I'm your host, Lisa Salsbury.

00:00:16.603 --> 00:00:22.263
I'm a certified health and weight loss coach and life coach, and most importantly a recovered chronic dieter.

00:00:22.873 --> 00:00:28.812
I'll teach you to figure out why you are eating when you aren't hungry, instead of worrying so much about what you are eating.

00:00:32.874 --> 00:00:34.584
Hi, and welcome to episode one.

00:00:35.064 --> 00:00:38.154
I'm super excited to finally be starting my new podcast.

00:00:39.054 --> 00:00:43.103
I want to start with what I think is the most important tool my clients use.

00:00:43.404 --> 00:00:46.584
It's really the one tool you need to ditch your diet app.

00:00:47.213 --> 00:00:48.024
Do you ever think?

00:00:48.084 --> 00:00:50.753
I just wish I could eat like a normal person.

00:00:51.654 --> 00:00:53.904
I wish I didn't have to worry about my calories.

00:00:54.713 --> 00:00:57.954
It's so annoying to count macros and have to enter it all in an app.

00:00:58.734 --> 00:01:03.173
And you're pretty sure that if you don't do these things, you're going to gain weight.

00:01:03.624 --> 00:01:06.353
Or at least never be able to lose any weight.

00:01:06.774 --> 00:01:12.414
So how in the world do you lose weight without counting calories, calculating macros, or managing points?

00:01:13.103 --> 00:01:16.194
This tool is the way, and it's the reason I wanted to start with it.

00:01:16.493 --> 00:01:18.174
So it's called the hunger scale.

00:01:18.504 --> 00:01:19.914
And it's honestly so simple.

00:01:19.914 --> 00:01:23.543
I was hesitant that it was even worthy of a title when I first learned about it.

00:01:24.084 --> 00:01:26.843
But there are several ways to think about a hunger scale.

00:01:26.843 --> 00:01:29.754
I've seen different coaches use different types of scales.

00:01:30.233 --> 00:01:33.173
So I'm going to teach you the way I use it with my clients.

00:01:34.173 --> 00:01:37.563
If you're somewhere where you can write, then you can do this with me on a piece of paper.

00:01:37.593 --> 00:01:40.412
But if not, you can totally just visualize it in your mind.

00:01:41.043 --> 00:01:46.712
So picture a number line that goes from negative 10 through zero to positive 10.

00:01:47.712 --> 00:01:52.513
On the negative side is hunger and on the positive side is fullness.

00:01:53.112 --> 00:01:56.022
So negative 10 is super hungry.

00:01:56.352 --> 00:02:00.852
This is like you've been fasting all day for a medical test or a religious reason.

00:02:00.852 --> 00:02:04.093
And you have multiple physical symptoms that tell you you are hungry.

00:02:04.513 --> 00:02:07.632
Your stomach is painful and tight or head hurts.

00:02:07.632 --> 00:02:09.133
You might feel a little dizzy.

00:02:09.853 --> 00:02:16.122
This is not the hunger you feel, where you didn't eat a great breakfast and it's lunchtime and tell your friend, oh my gosh, I'm starving.

00:02:16.842 --> 00:02:28.633
Not that you can't be hungry a few hours after your last meal, but when we're talking about negative 10 hunger, It's probably been upwards of like 10 to 12 hours of wakefulness that you haven't eaten.

00:02:28.992 --> 00:02:31.122
So it's very uncomfortable.

00:02:31.152 --> 00:02:32.203
Zero fun.

00:02:33.133 --> 00:02:37.812
Positive 10 full is equally as uncomfortable.

00:02:38.173 --> 00:02:42.163
So this is like Thanksgiving dinner, two or three pieces of pie.

00:02:42.163 --> 00:02:44.502
You have to lay down and unbutton your pants.

00:02:44.983 --> 00:02:53.263
Your stomach is painful and distended, and you may have other signs of being overly full, such as heartburn, burping cramping.

00:02:53.923 --> 00:02:56.622
All of that is also zero fun.

00:02:57.362 --> 00:03:00.002
Zero is completely neutral.

00:03:00.152 --> 00:03:06.242
Your neither hungry nor full you don't feel food or fullness in your stomach.

00:03:06.513 --> 00:03:10.712
But you also don't feel any physical need for food.

00:03:11.252 --> 00:03:15.663
There are no physical symptoms and your body just feels normal.

00:03:15.752 --> 00:03:17.193
You just feel at rest.

00:03:18.193 --> 00:03:24.582
Now as you start to move down into hunger from neutral, you're going to start to feel the suggestion of hunger.

00:03:25.032 --> 00:03:28.513
Your body starts to whisper that it might be time to think about food.

00:03:29.112 --> 00:03:37.302
At a negative two, you want to consider starting to prepare your food, like, okay, I need to go make some lunch, make some dinner.

00:03:38.143 --> 00:03:41.742
And then I'd like you to start eating at a negative three.

00:03:41.983 --> 00:03:43.693
So at a negative three.

00:03:44.112 --> 00:03:46.302
You're definitely thinking I'm hungry.

00:03:46.332 --> 00:03:47.383
I'm really glad.

00:03:47.413 --> 00:03:48.402
It's time for food.

00:03:48.853 --> 00:03:53.022
It's not overwhelming, but it just feels like good to eat.

00:03:53.022 --> 00:03:55.603
It's like, yeah, I'm definitely ready for a meal.

00:03:55.932 --> 00:04:00.223
Your stomach is starting to give you like those physical signs that it's empty.

00:04:00.643 --> 00:04:04.543
And so you're really like pleased that it's time for food.

00:04:04.622 --> 00:04:06.693
It's not an emergency in any way.

00:04:06.693 --> 00:04:12.992
You're not crabby or grumpy you are well before you're starting to get that headache, lightheaded feeling.

00:04:13.413 --> 00:04:14.432
So yay.

00:04:14.612 --> 00:04:15.332
It's time to eat.

00:04:15.332 --> 00:04:16.293
You're at a negative three.

00:04:16.293 --> 00:04:16.833
It's great.

00:04:17.192 --> 00:04:18.632
So you have your food prepared.

00:04:18.663 --> 00:04:25.142
You sit down to eat, you know why to pay attention here because just like we waited until negative three to eat.

00:04:25.952 --> 00:04:29.733
We want to stop eating at a positive three.

00:04:30.093 --> 00:04:31.773
So this is going to take practice.

00:04:32.163 --> 00:04:35.853
And awareness, and you're going to overshoot as you start learning this skill.

00:04:36.302 --> 00:04:37.262
Um, it's fine.

00:04:37.562 --> 00:04:38.283
Don't panic.

00:04:38.733 --> 00:04:42.692
No one ever like gets these numbers exactly right.

00:04:42.692 --> 00:04:46.293
And honestly, they're of course they're, these are subjective.

00:04:46.322 --> 00:04:52.283
We don't put sensors inside your stomach and see if you're like exactly at a negative three or positive three or whatnot.

00:04:52.283 --> 00:04:52.552
So.

00:04:53.093 --> 00:04:55.523
Of course, this is just your own perception.

00:04:55.973 --> 00:05:01.913
But, the positive three that we're looking for is sort of just right.

00:05:01.973 --> 00:05:07.942
It's really, before you feel any sense of fullness where food is like pushing on your stomach.

00:05:08.423 --> 00:05:12.473
You don't feel any heaviness, but you do feel satisfied.

00:05:12.533 --> 00:05:18.562
It's like a comfortable fullness in that you aren't uncomfortable in your body in any way.

00:05:19.673 --> 00:05:21.382
You for sure aren't hungry anymore.

00:05:21.413 --> 00:05:25.012
And it feels like you could not eat again for several hours.

00:05:25.733 --> 00:05:34.793
So this positive three is just another way I hear this described is enough or eating to enough.

00:05:35.033 --> 00:05:36.923
We're not eating to full.

00:05:36.952 --> 00:05:40.822
Full is really more on your positive five positive six.

00:05:40.853 --> 00:05:42.593
That's really, when you're getting full.

00:05:42.923 --> 00:05:47.153
It's a comfortable feeling of enough in the body.

00:05:47.153 --> 00:05:49.223
Remember this is all physical feeling.

00:05:49.223 --> 00:05:51.023
It might not feel emotionally enough.

00:05:51.533 --> 00:05:52.882
We will get to that later.

00:05:53.483 --> 00:05:56.512
So here is the tricky part.

00:05:56.872 --> 00:06:02.783
I have a really technical term for what it means to go from a negative three to a positive three.

00:06:03.083 --> 00:06:03.593
You ready?

00:06:04.432 --> 00:06:05.512
It's called a meal.

00:06:06.442 --> 00:06:06.802
Okay.

00:06:06.833 --> 00:06:16.283
I know I'm a dork, but really it's so important because if you are hungry enough to eat, I want you to eat a meal and get to positive three.

00:06:17.122 --> 00:06:22.432
That means that I'm asking you not to snack.

00:06:23.452 --> 00:06:38.293
Oh, I know snacking is so popular and I, I think it's probably one of the most frequent things I see requests for like on Facebook when people are like, I need ideas on what to eat.

00:06:38.653 --> 00:06:42.673
Some people, you know, you have friends that are like, what are you guys making for dinner this week?

00:06:42.702 --> 00:06:44.923
But I see more often than not.

00:06:44.952 --> 00:06:49.182
Hey, anyone have ideas for low calorie snacks?

00:06:49.783 --> 00:06:54.252
Listen if you're hungry enough to eat, I want you to eat a meal.

00:06:54.283 --> 00:06:58.663
Snacking for the most part, it's just totally unnecessary for adults.

00:06:59.262 --> 00:07:00.702
We are made to eat.

00:07:01.242 --> 00:07:02.833
And then stop eating.

00:07:03.223 --> 00:07:04.242
And then eat again.

00:07:05.112 --> 00:07:09.012
None of our ancestors grazed all day or ate six small meals a day.

00:07:09.403 --> 00:07:10.632
There wasn't time for that.

00:07:10.632 --> 00:07:16.843
And it's just not how human bodies were designed to be fueled, frankly, it's just not necessary.

00:07:17.742 --> 00:07:26.682
The main problem with snacking is that we think we need a snack when we're on the hunger scale, say like around negative one, or maybe we're at zero.

00:07:26.682 --> 00:07:29.023
It's just been a while since we've eaten.

00:07:29.713 --> 00:07:37.843
And so we're like, I probably should have a snack and then we eat a little something and we either stay at zero because it wasn't enough to make a difference.

00:07:37.843 --> 00:07:39.432
Or maybe we're at a positive one.

00:07:39.882 --> 00:07:47.442
And then shortly after that, we find ourselves drifting down into like negative one, hungry, and then we're starting to get worried.

00:07:47.442 --> 00:07:49.093
Like, what if I get hungry?

00:07:49.673 --> 00:07:56.103
If you think of that number scale we spend all day jumping around that negative one, zero positive one back to negative one.

00:07:56.642 --> 00:07:59.973
And then we wonder why we felt hungry all day.

00:08:00.723 --> 00:08:03.302
And then it gets to be evening and we're like, I just got to eat.

00:08:03.333 --> 00:08:04.773
Cause I've just been hungry all day.

00:08:05.252 --> 00:08:08.283
And then we end up getting overly full.

00:08:09.692 --> 00:08:17.283
Imagine if you're like, I'm going to sit down for an entire meal I'm going to eat until I'm comfortably full I've.

00:08:17.312 --> 00:08:19.833
I've comfortably had enough that a positive three.

00:08:20.583 --> 00:08:25.023
And then I'm going to wait to eat again and till I'm physically hungry.

00:08:26.343 --> 00:08:29.793
This actually is not the way most of us eat.

00:08:30.333 --> 00:08:38.342
So you might be really surprised if you start applying this, how infrequently you actually do need to eat.

00:08:39.182 --> 00:08:46.212
So I find there two main problems with not abiding by the hunger scale and with the snacking.

00:08:48.163 --> 00:08:52.273
The first is we never feel true physical hunger.

00:08:52.842 --> 00:09:01.332
It's a good thing to start trying to feel as most of us really don't feel it that often, because food is just easy to come by in our world.

00:09:01.332 --> 00:09:01.722
Right.

00:09:02.293 --> 00:09:04.273
And we tend to overeat our meals.

00:09:04.812 --> 00:09:10.513
And when the clock tells us it's time for the next we eat, regardless of what our body says.

00:09:11.202 --> 00:09:12.582
We're like, well, it's lunchtime.

00:09:13.273 --> 00:09:16.153
Even if we're still full from breakfast, we eat it anyway.

00:09:16.812 --> 00:09:21.582
Or it's like after school and the kids are having a snack and you're like, well, it's snack time.

00:09:21.582 --> 00:09:22.572
I should have a snack.

00:09:22.993 --> 00:09:26.143
Regardless of what your true physical hunger is.

00:09:27.102 --> 00:09:29.202
So I think that's the first problem is that.

00:09:29.712 --> 00:09:31.332
We're not really feeling true.

00:09:31.332 --> 00:09:32.232
Physical hunger.

00:09:32.682 --> 00:09:37.513
And the second one is we don't get to feel that good, satisfied feeling during the day.

00:09:37.932 --> 00:09:40.393
We just maybe graze or snack all day.

00:09:40.962 --> 00:09:45.373
And we don't get that comfortable, full enough feeling.

00:09:47.113 --> 00:09:50.113
That helps us be emotionally satisfied as well.

00:09:50.472 --> 00:09:56.352
And when we never feel that satisfaction with our food, we're far more likely to overeat in the evening.

00:09:56.592 --> 00:09:58.123
After a day of snacking.

00:09:59.743 --> 00:10:02.263
Whenever my clients tell me, you know, it was just a hungry day.

00:10:02.293 --> 00:10:03.673
I just was like hungry all day.

00:10:03.673 --> 00:10:04.812
I don't know what's wrong with me.

00:10:06.092 --> 00:10:11.852
First of all, we rule out other factors like menstrual cycle or if there was any kind of illness going on.

00:10:12.482 --> 00:10:21.332
But then I ask them where they were on the hunger scale after breakfast, more often than not, breakfast was missed.

00:10:21.753 --> 00:10:23.763
Snack was a snack was grabbed.

00:10:24.452 --> 00:10:28.503
And they spent the day snacking standing up or in the car.

00:10:28.863 --> 00:10:29.403
So.

00:10:29.857 --> 00:10:31.898
This would be the biggest thing I would try.

00:10:32.107 --> 00:10:35.707
If you feel like that, if you're like, I just feel like I'm hungry all day.

00:10:36.248 --> 00:10:40.957
I want you to try sitting down for a meal and that is important to sit down.

00:10:41.317 --> 00:10:42.638
And really pay attention.

00:10:43.687 --> 00:10:51.947
And feel that physical hunger and then eat until you feel comfortable and feel like you've had enough.

00:10:52.187 --> 00:10:54.317
And then wait, wait it out.

00:10:55.067 --> 00:10:58.126
Wait until you really feel physical hunger again.

00:10:58.576 --> 00:11:03.527
Not that first, like, I think I might be hungry, not like the worry of being hungry.

00:11:03.826 --> 00:11:05.626
But true physical hunger.

00:11:06.557 --> 00:11:08.356
And let me just be clear.

00:11:08.356 --> 00:11:10.486
I don't want you to spend all day being hungry.

00:11:10.517 --> 00:11:13.366
I want you to eat when you are hungry.

00:11:13.787 --> 00:11:17.866
But I also want you to test out being hungry.

00:11:19.067 --> 00:11:28.157
If we simply use this 3, 3, 3 meal method, so three meals a day from a negative three to a positive three.

00:11:29.116 --> 00:11:30.376
You're going to lose weight.

00:11:30.767 --> 00:11:32.986
This is how our great-grandmothers ate.

00:11:33.106 --> 00:11:36.706
They work during the day they waited to eat until meal time.

00:11:37.067 --> 00:11:41.836
Then they ate just enough to be satisfied because likely that was all there was, or maybe that was their share.

00:11:41.866 --> 00:11:42.947
Share and a big family.

00:11:43.735 --> 00:11:54.416
I know this feels way too simple because physical hunger is not the only reason we eat and we will get to emotional eating and celebratory eating and all the reasons that we eat that isn't physical hunger.

00:11:54.416 --> 00:11:57.086
We will get to that in other episodes of this podcast.

00:11:58.086 --> 00:12:02.285
But the truth is the vast majority of your meals can be eaten this way.

00:12:02.946 --> 00:12:04.686
In 21 meals per week.

00:12:05.015 --> 00:12:10.566
If one of them is out with friends on the weekend, another is a celebratory lunch after a soccer game.

00:12:10.566 --> 00:12:10.985
When.

00:12:11.706 --> 00:12:16.265
And you choose to eat past physical hunger or maybe eat before you're actually hungry.

00:12:16.655 --> 00:12:22.176
That's still 19 out of 21 meals in the week that can be eaten according to physical hunger.

00:12:22.475 --> 00:12:23.765
That's 90% of the time.

00:12:24.066 --> 00:12:26.015
That's plenty to lose weight.

00:12:26.405 --> 00:12:28.985
You do not have to be doing this a hundred percent of the time.

00:12:29.975 --> 00:12:36.066
I know I said, I wouldn't be talking about emotional hunger, which is totally different, but eating to physical hunger.

00:12:36.755 --> 00:12:38.615
We'll still be bringing up emotions.

00:12:39.755 --> 00:12:41.076
When you're waiting for hunger.

00:12:41.645 --> 00:12:49.505
Corinne Crabtree says it activates and triggers restriction and deprivation fears because of all your other diets.

00:12:50.316 --> 00:12:50.615
Okay.

00:12:50.615 --> 00:12:57.336
So basically your brain naturally goes to the thinking you have always used when you've tried to lose weight in the past.

00:12:57.846 --> 00:13:00.395
So this is normal for your brain to do this.

00:13:01.025 --> 00:13:09.336
But this time you can gently remind yourself that waiting for normal physical hunger to appear is what your body was designed to do.

00:13:09.725 --> 00:13:11.255
It's totally safe.

00:13:11.826 --> 00:13:13.206
Nothing has gone wrong.

00:13:13.956 --> 00:13:20.375
Waiting for physical hunger and eating to satisfied is meeting your human needs.

00:13:21.375 --> 00:13:24.796
So though it's normal for fear and restrictive worries to come up.

00:13:24.826 --> 00:13:26.926
That's just your past diet trauma.

00:13:27.436 --> 00:13:30.076
You did not have to live your life at a weight.

00:13:30.076 --> 00:13:33.546
You don't prefer just because your brain is offering you thoughts.

00:13:33.546 --> 00:13:33.966
Like.

00:13:34.566 --> 00:13:36.186
Oh, no, this is restriction.

00:13:37.535 --> 00:13:40.115
Your work is to rewire that part of your brain.

00:13:40.895 --> 00:13:47.525
One of the ways we do that aside from just reminding ourselves that physical hunger is normal and nothing has gone wrong.

00:13:48.365 --> 00:13:51.966
Is to create abundance by planning your meals.

00:13:52.625 --> 00:13:55.566
That's what we're going to be talking about next week on the podcast.

00:13:55.596 --> 00:13:57.785
So be sure to tune in for that.

00:13:58.259 --> 00:13:58.528
Okay.

00:13:58.558 --> 00:14:02.548
I want to acknowledge at this point that this might sound a little tone, deaf.

00:14:03.328 --> 00:14:04.379
That you might be thinking.

00:14:04.379 --> 00:14:04.708
Yeah.

00:14:04.739 --> 00:14:06.448
Like we've never heard that before.

00:14:06.899 --> 00:14:11.129
You eat when you're hungry and stop when your full, like, this is not rocket science.

00:14:11.129 --> 00:14:16.818
It kind of goes back to, you know, eat less and exercise more I don't want you to think.

00:14:16.818 --> 00:14:20.568
I'm going to leave you high and dry on the rest of the issues here.

00:14:20.599 --> 00:14:22.818
We all have urges to eat.

00:14:23.208 --> 00:14:26.089
More when what we're eating tastes great.

00:14:26.509 --> 00:14:30.769
We have cravings for things at times when it's not time for a meal.

00:14:31.158 --> 00:14:37.369
Um, we also have desires to eat, to soothe their emotions or for something to do, or just bored.

00:14:37.399 --> 00:14:46.698
All of those things are true and I don't want you to think that I'm boiling down all of our weight loss problems to just eating when you're hungry and stopping when you're full.

00:14:47.208 --> 00:14:49.908
This is just a foundational tool.

00:14:50.208 --> 00:14:51.438
I want you to start with.

00:14:51.469 --> 00:14:52.639
It's fine.

00:14:52.639 --> 00:14:56.479
If you're only able to do this one meal this week, one time, one meal.

00:14:56.509 --> 00:14:58.129
I just want you to test it out.

00:14:58.668 --> 00:15:04.219
Because physical hunger is the foundation for managing our emotional hunger.

00:15:04.999 --> 00:15:14.568
If we're not in touch with our physical hunger cues, it will be very difficult to recognize when we're physically hungry and when we're emotionally hungry.

00:15:15.198 --> 00:15:19.068
So I'm asking you to start with your physical hunger this week.

00:15:19.099 --> 00:15:23.989
And I promise I will give you more tools for your emotional hunger, for your cravings, for your urges.

00:15:24.438 --> 00:15:27.078
For all of the celebratory eating, all of that will come.

00:15:27.078 --> 00:15:30.499
I just can't pack it into the first episode as much as I would love to.

00:15:30.948 --> 00:15:37.489
So when you're experimenting with the numbers this week, I want you also to just notice your thoughts around them.

00:15:37.519 --> 00:15:40.308
Notice what's coming up for you.

00:15:40.938 --> 00:15:43.969
Are you having diet-y restriction thoughts?

00:15:44.658 --> 00:15:49.249
When you're waiting for a physical hunger, try noticing what your brain is offering you.

00:15:49.999 --> 00:15:55.759
And what you're thinking, because those are the kinds of things I want to know so that we can coach on them.

00:15:56.359 --> 00:16:00.769
I want to know what you're thinking so that we can work on those thoughts.

00:16:00.948 --> 00:16:04.188
What's coming up for you when your body is saying, okay, this is enough.

00:16:05.183 --> 00:16:07.553
What is your brain saying in that moment?

00:16:08.004 --> 00:16:10.854
When your stomach is saying, um, it's, it's plenty.

00:16:10.974 --> 00:16:11.754
We're good here.

00:16:12.774 --> 00:16:14.394
What, what are the thoughts?

00:16:14.543 --> 00:16:19.344
Write that stuff down because that's just the awareness we need.

00:16:19.823 --> 00:16:22.913
Again, we're just doing the first steps here, and this is our very first step.

00:16:22.913 --> 00:16:28.703
We have to figure out what it is you're thinking when you stop at enough.

00:16:29.153 --> 00:16:30.384
So I'd love to hear from you.

00:16:30.384 --> 00:16:43.344
If you want to drop me a DM on Instagram or send me an email, I'd love to hear those thoughts, so that we can put them on the podcast and talk about those kinds of thoughts that come up for you when you don't want to stop.

00:16:44.133 --> 00:16:47.013
That's all I have for you today on the hunger scale.

00:16:47.013 --> 00:16:50.763
So go forth this week and experiment with a little physical hunger.

00:16:51.153 --> 00:16:53.013
And physical fullness.

00:16:53.552 --> 00:17:01.773
What does a positive to feel like versus a positive four versus a positive six, try and experience all of those this week.

00:17:02.462 --> 00:17:07.262
Do try to overeat and feel like, okay, where am I on the hunger scale?

00:17:07.772 --> 00:17:09.603
And then give that a rating.

00:17:10.292 --> 00:17:15.782
And just use those times to learn about what physical fullness feels like.

00:17:16.202 --> 00:17:17.702
Let yourself get hungry.

00:17:17.913 --> 00:17:19.472
Just wait, wait to eat.

00:17:19.502 --> 00:17:20.252
It's okay.

00:17:20.313 --> 00:17:21.573
Nothing has gone wrong.

00:17:22.202 --> 00:17:25.292
Wait to eat a negative one, wait for negative three.

00:17:25.563 --> 00:17:29.702
And you might try waiting even until you're at a negative five, so you can feel like, okay.

00:17:30.032 --> 00:17:33.303
Yeah, I know this is too hungry when I get this hungry.

00:17:33.663 --> 00:17:34.952
This is when I eat fast.

00:17:34.952 --> 00:17:36.333
This is when I eat too much.

00:17:36.363 --> 00:17:37.173
That kind of thing.

00:17:37.623 --> 00:17:39.363
So experiment with all of that.

00:17:39.692 --> 00:17:41.282
I'd love to know how it goes.

00:17:41.282 --> 00:17:43.262
You can DM me on Instagram.

00:17:43.833 --> 00:17:44.853
I'd love to hear from you.

00:17:45.363 --> 00:17:45.843
All right.
