Whenever your body
detects hunger signalling hormones, it decreases thyroid and sex hormone production.
When learning to
detect our hunger signals, I recommend that people picture their hunger on a scale from 0 - 10; 0, meaning you're absolutely famished and «hangry» and 10 meaning that you're so full you feel like you might explode (like you just went to an all - you - can - eat buffet).
Ultimately, knowing how to
detect our hunger signals is really important for giving our body the fuel it needs to thrive while still respecting our body by not causing discomfort.
What's most important when it comes to learning to
detect our hunger signals is to not stress about it.
