If you fall into the Full of Appetite type, the first step is to distinguish between real hunger and emotional hunger.
Ever felt like eating even when you’re already full? That’s often your emotions or mind craving food, not your body.
Try drinking a glass of water before your meal. When you start eating, begin with fiber-rich foods like salads or greens. Simply changing the order of your meal can help you feel full faster and slow down carbohydrate absorption.
Let’s take a moment to check your snack choices!
Try swapping out sweet snacks like pastries and chocolate for high-protein, low-calorie options like cherry tomatoes, boiled eggs, or chicken breast sausages. You might be surprised at how satisfying they are—and they can also help curb your cravings over time.
After meals, make it a habit to take a short walk or do some light stretching.
If you sit down right after eating, your brain might not register fullness in time, making you feel hungry again too soon. A simple walk can send signals to your brain that you’re satisfied.
You don’t have to force yourself to resist hunger. Instead, aim to have at least one meal a day where you eat just a little less than usual. These small successes will add up, making appetite control much easier over time.
A Word from the Coach
Overeating isn’t about weak willpower—it’s shaped by your habits and environment. The good news? Small changes can lead to big improvements faster than you might think.
Instead of blaming yourself with thoughts like, "I’m so greedy with food," remind yourself: "I enjoy eating, but I’m learning to manage it in a healthy way." This mindset shift can make a big difference.
