In today's episode I discuss the 2 types of hunger: true physical hunger and "head hunger". From my experience, identifying whether or not you are truely hungry can be the main thing preventing you from losing weight. Too often people eat when they are bored, stressed, emotional or lonely. In this podcast I teach you how to combat non-hungry eating and how to identify your true hunger signals so that you are properly nourishing and fuelling your body.  If you enjoyed this podcast, please leave me a positive rating or review in the purple Apple Podcast app (in the rating & reviews section underneath the episode lists).
