About this episode

Is it just me, or is feeling hungry somehow become something we’re afraid of?  I’ve heard this from SO many clients over the last year and now with GLP1s feeling like they are everywhere, I think this has become a THING.  Friends, hunger has a PR problem.  And I get it. What you do when you’re too hungry has historically made you feel pretty shitty, both mentally and physically.  But hunger itself isn’t a problem.  Hunger is a normal biological signal.  It’s that a lot of us have lost the ability to deal with it without freaking out.  In episode 291 of The Diet Diaries I’m talking about: * Why hunger can feel scary  * How GLP-1s are changing our relationship with hunger * The difference between regulating hunger and suppressing it * Why eating every 2–3 hours can make it harder to recognize actual hunger * Two skills to help you easily and quickly deal with hungerConnect with Jordana Find me on Instagram Sign up for my weekly letter with personal stories and nutrition, body image and mindset tips Schedule a free discovery call to talk more about working together Listen to more episodes of The Diet Diaries
