Eating-Induced Hunger
Why do I get more hungry the more I eat, and how come restriction makes me less hungry? In this episode I discuss what I like to refer as 'eating-induced hunger', which is a common experience in eating disorders and recovery. I also answer a listener question around feeling obsessive and concerned with what your family members are eating.
