Identify Hunger Cues And Do Not Ignore Them

Hunger cues can be experienced uniquely, so it is important to identify one’s hunger cues and not ignore them. Hunger cues may include a growling stomach, headache, feeling light-headed, fatigue, irritation, etc. In a busy world, it is easy to avoid and ignore hunger cues in order keep going with work, school, or whatever it may be. However, the problem with avoiding or ignoring hunger cues is that it can encourage overeating later in the day. As the hunger builds and triggers for snacking become stronger, the cravings hit harder, and the ability to make healthier eating choices diminishes. At that point, people are more likely to find themselves selecting foods lacking in nutritional value and eating way too much of it.
