Distinguish Physical Hunger From Emotional Hunger

In order to lose weight, it helps to be able to distinguish genuine physical hunger from emotional needs that are often disguised as hunger. Real (physical) hunger originates in an empty stomach and is accompanied by a lack of energy and ability to concentrate. Food satisfies real hunger.

On the other hand, some hunger signals are nothing more than boredom; a need for a break, stretch or exercise; stress, and the need for comfort. This emotional-type hunger cannot be properly satisfied by food. In fact, often it leads to guilt and bingeing.

So if you want to lose weight, when you think you need food, ask yourself if you are truly hungry physically or if you are really in need of something else - perhaps a chat with a friend, a brisk walk or a break for fun.

Weight Loss Advice

Temporary changes to your diet and exercise habits cause temporary weight loss which is typically regained after a short period. To lose weight permanently, you need to make permanent changes to your diet and fitness routines. This is why realistic weight loss goals work best - because realistic weight loss targets are easier to achieve.
