🍝 New: The 4 Types of Hunger in Intuitive Eating

Published 12 days ago • 1 min read

Hi Reader,

Sometimes it feels like hunger is just about food...or maybe it seems like it should be. But what drives us to eat goes far beyond physical needs. Emotional cues, routines, stress, and even the sight or smell of food can all play a role.

On the blog, I break down the 4 types of hunger you might notice in your day-to-day life, and how recognizing them can help you eat more intuitively, without guilt or rigid rules.

Read the full post here:

​The 4 Types of Hunger in Intuitive Eating​

Optional bonus: if you need a little help connecting to your hunger cues, I created a free hunger scale guide to use alongside this post. It's a simple tool to help you notice and respond to different signals without pressure or counting. You can grab it here:

Understanding your hunger is a small step toward making peace with food and noticing what your body actually needs. If you have questions about your own hunger cues, hit reply. I'd love to hear from you.

Warmly,
Stephanie
