Question… so I feel like I can sense my hunger well and naturally eat at maintenance fairly easily, but since I want to lose weight I’ll have to eat less than maintenance- so basically not going to feel full and satisfied during a weight loss phase, otherwise won’t actually lose weight- just maintain, right?
IT depends… all bodies have set points which is a healthy weight that your body can easily maintain. Now this set point may not look like the cover of a magazine BUT that does not mean it is unhealthy. IF you are chasing aesthetics – this is different then what IE is teaching. IE is teaching us how to listen to and honor the body and then love and accept with the body lands (visually) – does that make sense?
Clean & Delicious I think I get it- I guess if your body naturally wants to be at its ideal weight you could just eat intuitively and would eventually get there because it would naturally have less hunger when you’re above that weight or more hunger when below it… I feel like my body kinda just wants to stay at whatever weight it happens to be at and/or tends to want to be overweight whereas I’d like to be leaner or at least around the mid range of a healthy BMI. Not trying to look like a magazine model haha but I know what you mean- I would like to be more aesthetic than what I am currently (which is about 5 pounds above the top end range of a healthy weight for my height, according to BMI)
I would continue practicing all of these tools and tweak to see which areas need your attention. What I know for sure… restricting, depriving and being hungry never lead to a positive, sustainable outcome. xo
Very usefull information. Thanks dear

I have learned so much in such a short time. Listen to the cues your body gives you and don’t punish yourself when you fail. I can really see that this works if you learn to stick with it. It just makes so much sense to me. It’s really simple. When you know you can always eat what you want when you want it, there is no need to overeat. You just eat till your satisfied and then stop, knowing you can eat again when you’re hungry. This is even better than portion control when your eyes decide how much you should eat and not your stomach.
YAAASSSS!!!!
Very good video. This is one I struggle with. There are certain foods I just love to eat that I will eat until it’s gone and I’ll stuff myself silly. It has nothing to do with hunger, more to do with enjoying the experience with the food. Hmmmm….just had the thought why typing this that the foods I end up binging on are those that I rarely eat because the food police says I shouldn’t eat it. So when I do have these foods I eat like a death row inmate who’ll never eat these things again. Time to do more practice! I do notice though, often my full feeling comes maybe 15-20 min after I stop eating.
Great channel,thx for d education.
Really great series. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Just a question about something you said about energy level and food. I’ve always thought that dips in energy or spikes in energy had to do with insulin and that we didn’t want to feel high or low. Am I mixing something up? I’m desperatly trying to change my relationship with food and want to get it right. Thanks again.
Insulin spikes and dips usually happen when we are eating excess of foods that effect insulin – so for instance, one piece of toast with eggs and avocado for breakfast will increase insulin BUT will not send it into a crazy spike. However, pancakes with bananas and syrups are more likely to create a spike in insulin.
SO – my point, yes… we want our to eat in a way that keeps insulin (aka blood sugar balanced) BUT this is not the same as hunger.
I find that when insulin has dipped or crashed it creates that ‘ I need to eat right now feeling!’ However – true hunger is more of a slow burn… it comes on over time and doesn’t feel like an emergency.
Often, early sign of hunger are as simple as noticing that you are begnning to think about food.
Hope this helps!!
I liked this one. I have gotten the workbook and am really enjoying it. I feel so much more freedom and am not eating as much. I have 2 things.. 1 It is very hard for me to stop eating when there is still food on my plate. I guess I was brought up not to waste the food. So I am finding it hard to know how much to put on my plate. 2. I am learning to know when I am hungry but what I am hungry for is hard to figure out. I also know that even though we can eat whatever we want we still need to look for the healthy options or is that a diet mentality thinking again?
Don’t worry so much about how much you put on your plate…. pay more attention to the voice telling you cant waste. Notice it. Do you still agree with it? You have permission to change your mind.
Thinking of ‘healthy food’ is diet mentality. The goal is gentle nutrition – so yes, be aware of real whole foods and be sure to keep a good variety on stock at home so you have options as you practice tuning into your bodies cues.
Enjoyed your video as always. The human body will get accustomed to eating less and less frequently if you make the adjustment slowly over time. I have been intermittent fasting for about a year now and most days I only eat twice a day. At about 11 or 12 noon and then at about 5 or six in the afternoon. I do not walk around hungry all the time or stuffed mostly because when i do eat I eat high quality nutrition dense food with no refined sugar, wheat, or diary. Most people eat too much too often. Give your body a break from having to deal with food and it will repair itself to a great extent.
