Eat Only When Truly Hungry
Listening to Your Body Is a Nourishing Experience
by Stephanie Wood
If any of you reading this are like me, eating only when
you are truly hungry might be a new concept.
Before I understood true hunger, I ate when I thought I
was hungry, when I wasn’t hungry, and even when I had a
stomach full of food.
So how can you tell when you are dealing with true hunger?
Here are some signs of true hunger:
1. You feel truly empty in your tummy vs. your mouth
2. Anything you eat tastes absolutely wonderful
(especially living foods!).
3. It is impossible for anything to distract you;
you can only think about food.
4. A tall glass of water doesn’t satisfy you.
5. Your food won’t require any extra seasoning
like salt, pepper, ketchup, or tabasco. Hunger is
the best seasoning!
6. If you are truly hungry nothing will interest
you more than sitting down and savoring your food.
If you feel compelled to do anything other than
eat, for example, you want to watch TV, read, or
drive a car, you are not hungry!
7. Discomfort is not hunger. If you are feeling
gas, it is due to the combinations of foods you
put into your stomach last time you ate. Eating
more will not make you feel any better. It is best
to wait and let your body digest the food.
8. And, if you have any doubts about whether or
not you are truly hungry, you’re not! True hunger
is unmistakable.
Remember, what I most want for you to know is
Your body has a special intelligence and this is what I teach in my Body Knowledge System™
12 week series which is beginning in April 2008

And there is hope ( and practical techniques that I can teach you) when you create a closer relationship with your body and acknowledge his/her intelligence, she will help you to nourish not only her inner intelligence but most importantly to also nourish your soul
I encourage you to graciously give your body what is colorful for you in the moment and this includes food.
Listening to your body is truly a nourishing experience. How luscious is that! Enjoy!
