Episode notes
Practical Hunger Management
- Consider overall daily food intake and workout schedule, not just hunger cues.
- Set portions for highly palatable foods, stopping before fullness to manage cravings.
Distinguishing Hunger from Cravings
- Check for stomach sensations and if a balanced meal sounds appealing.
- Pause 10 minutes before snacking; if the urge fades, it's likely not true hunger.
Dopamine-Driven Hunger
- Distraction can make you forget about cravings, suggesting a dopamine-driven desire, not hunger.
- Andrew Coates suggests it's more knowledge/dopamine seeking.
