VOLUME EATING ≠ HEALTHY METABOLISM⚡️🔥
When you eat a large volume of food that doesn’t have a lot of nutrient or caloric density (ex: popcorn, raw salads, plain spaghetti squash) stretch receptors in your stomach register the VOLUME and signal to your brain that you’re full. But you’re not actually full on nutrients. Your stomach is just full of volume! So then 1-2 hours later when the “light” food runs through you…you’re hungry again. But you just ate?!? Wtf?! So you ignore that hunger cue…
And the cycle of restricting, bingeing, eating past the fullness cue and ignoring the hunger cue commences. 🔁
This is how women around the world are “losing” their hunger & fullness cues. It’s from tricking your body into thinking it’s full (with high volume, low cal foods) and then ignoring the cues that follow. If your body is trying to talk to you and you keep ignoring her, eventually she’ll stop trying and wasting effort, and she’ll go mute. 🤐
HOW TO GET YOUR CUES BACK: ⬇️
1. Eat nutrient dense, whole food meals with proteins, fats, carbs, and fiber.
2. Give your body some reliable structure (slide 7)
3. ACT ON THE CUES! Practice with other cues (sleep, wake, energy, pain)
4. Daily body connection to rebuild the wiring between your brain and your body
There’s soooo much more I could say on hunger & fullness cues, but you tell me what questions you have and I’ll answer them personally below!!🫶🎀🥑
