Why did you last eat? Ask anyone, and the answers often range from ‘because I was stressed, tired, worried, a friend popped around with muffins and I couldn’t say no’. Rarely is the answer ‘because I was hungry’. In our lives we have an abundance of food, and many of us have become completely out of touch with our huger signals. Tasty and highly palatable foods often being eaten to temporarily mask or alleviate symptoms other than hunger. Do you recognise this in yourself? What would happen if you tuned into hunger, and challenged yourself to feel belly centred hunger for 30 minutes before eating for the next two weeks?
