I am trying to practice a version of intuitive/mindful eating - honoring my body’s hunger cues and not sticking to a timeline or plan as to what and when to eat. But tbh years of “dieting” has screwed over my ability to recognize hunger cues. I suddenly realize my hunger after not eating for 10+ hours and then I’m ravenous and would just eat anything. Anyone dealt with this have any recommendations? TIA

I don't have quite the same issue as you- I would never be able to go 10 hours without eating without realizing it. But I do get ravenous and lose self control.

I address this by keeping easy healthy satisfying snacks prepared in the fridge. They need to include fat and protein to satisfy me. My go-tos are baby carrots with hummus, apple/celery/pretzel sticks with peanut butter, and always keeping cut up fruit in the fridge to snack on (this also helps keep me hydrated).

Once I've eaten a satiating snack I have more energy to make a meal based on intuitive eating.

I really like this idea, thank you for sharing!

Try by starting with reminders from your phone alarm and take a couple of minutes to assess your hunger/thirst. Use this to relearn your body's cues. Remember that sometimes thirst can feel link hunger. Make sure you are staying hydrated.

I love reminders haha, thanks!

Try eating every few hours in small portions, healthy snacks and smaller meals. For this I suggest meal planning and preparing on the weekends so you have something super handy when a calendar reminder tells you it's time to snack. I actually greater a meal booklet for busy season with great healthy, filling and easy meals if interested message me an email that you'd like me to send it to!

I’m not sure your story — but I was formerly obese (lost 150 pounds +) years ago and I still struggle with this. I think habit cues are the most important to identify and figure out what kind of rules you can set up for yourself. Again, easier said than done, my bad months are really bad

I've been working out since early 2020 6x/ week and lost ~30lbs. However, I didn't adjust my eating -only switched to an intermittent fasting schedule (eat between 12-8pm). Now, I'm trying to focus on better eating. I struggle with sweets - If it's around me, I need it all lol and Uber eats is a weakness bc of all the dessert places! My meals are relatively balanced so not a major issue...

I've heard of intuitive eating but sounds a bit fluffy (lol) - other tips? What has worked for you? Help!!

Thinking about adjusting starting to eat at 9:30/10 tomorrow instead.

No questions, just this is going to be something new to get used to.
