Hunger, Fullness, and Satisfaction
Use internal cues as information while respecting that medications, stress, restriction, and health conditions can change them.
What to know
Hunger can be physical, emotional, learned, situational, or mixed.
Fullness and satisfaction are related but not identical.
Some people need meal structure even when cues are unreliable.
This week’s practice
Turn the lesson into one useful experiment.
- 1
Pause briefly before one meal to notice current cues.
- 2
Eat a normal meal and observe how cues change.
- 3
Record information without delaying needed food.
Questions to take into care
“Could a medication or condition affect appetite?”
“Would structured nutrition support be safer than cue-based eating?”
Why this chapter matters
Eating Behavior Without Shame
Eating behavior is influenced by biology, access, learning, emotion, environment, medications, and mental health. Shame is not a treatment strategy.
