List three techniques to determine whether you are eating because you are truly hungry or are overeating
What will be an ideal response?
Answers will vary, but could include three of the following techniques:
- Ask yourself if you're hungry enough to eat an apple. If so, then you're truly hungry.
- At the moment you are about to consume something you had not planned to, stop and think for a moment to
determine whether something has triggered your perceived need to eat. Are you eating because food is available or
are you actually hungry?
- While eating, take a few moments to actively analyze whether you are still hungry or if you are eating simply
because there is still food left on the plate. Try to recognize the point where you feel satisfied, and save the rest of
the meal for later.
- Eat higher-quality foods that are flavorful, rich in nutrients, and unrefined. You'll require less of these foods to
feel full.
