Did You Know? 🤔

Craving pizza at midnight? 🍕 It might not be real hunger!
As dietitians, we often see clients confuse emotional hunger with physical hunger. Here’s how to tell them apart—backed by science!

Emotional Hunger 🆚 Physical Hunger
🔹 Sudden vs. Gradual
Emotional: Hits instantly (stress/boredom).
Physical: Builds slowly (stomach growls).

🔹 Specific Cravings vs. Open to Options
Emotional: “I NEED chocolate NOW!”
Physical: “I’m hungry—anything nutritious works.”

🔹 Urgent vs. Patient
Emotional: “Must eat IMMEDIATELY!”
Physical: Can wait if needed.

🔹 Mindless vs. Mindful
Emotional: Eating while scrolling (no awareness).
Physical: Savoring each bite.

🔹 No Fullness Signal vs. Natural Stop
Emotional: Overeating even when stuffed.
Physical: Stops when satisfied.

🔹 Guilt vs. Neutral Feeling
Emotional: “Why did I eat that?”
Physical: “That fueled me well.”

Dietitian Tips to Break the Cycle
✅ Pause & H.A.L.T.: Ask, “Am I Hungry, Angry, Lonely, or Tired?”
✅ Delay & Distract: Wait 10 mins + take a walk. Cravings often pass!
✅ Healthy Swap: Try dark chocolate (70%+) or roasted chana instead of chips.
✅ Hydrate First: Sip herbal tea—dehydration mimics hunger!
✅ Journal It: Track triggers (e.g., “Ate cookies after work stress”).

“Food is fuel, not therapy.” Tag someone who needs this!

Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a common, yet poorly understood condition wherein episodes of bloating, abdominal pain and altered bowel habits, such as diarrhea or constipation is seen. IBS is often described as a mystery because its exact cause is unknown, and symptoms can vary greatly from person to person.

Not all hunger is physical. Some hunger comes from the heart, not the stomach.

Ever found yourself reaching for snacks 30 minutes after a meal?
Or eating chips while scrolling without realizing you’re not even enjoying them?
That’s not real hunger that’s emotional hunger.

🍽️ Here’s how to tell the difference:
➡️ Physical hunger builds slowly, you can wait, and you feel satisfied after eating.
➡️ Emotional hunger hits suddenly, often craves specific “comfort foods,” and usually ends with guilt or bloating.

🧠 Before your next snack or second helping, pause and ask:
“Am I really hungry? Or am I…

🥱 bored

😩 stressed

😔 feeling lonely

😴 tired

🤯 avoiding something uncomfortable?”

You don’t have to ignore emotions but food is not the only way to soothe them.
Try sipping water, taking a walk, journaling, or just pausing for 5 minutes.

✨ Eating mindfully isn’t about restriction it’s about reconnecting.
Reconnecting with your body.
Your hunger cues.
Your emotions.

💬 Tell me have you experienced emotional eating lately? What triggered it?
You’re not alone, and there’s always a way to heal your food relationship. 🤍
