One of the principles of a healthy lifestyle through practicing intuitive eating is honoring our hunger. Instead of viewing hunger as something that needs to be managed, tamed, or stifled, we learn to see signs of hunger as an opportunity to check in with what our body needs… We may even begin to look forward to hunger as an invitation to take a break from our busy day and show respect and appreciation for our body by providing it with the nourishment it needs to thrive.
