Do you know the difference between fullness & satisfaction?? 🧐👇🏼 Intuitive eating is heavily centered around something called interceptive awareness, which is simply having a heightened awareness of the sensations that arise from within your body 🧘🏻‍♀️ The 3 key biological cues in intuitive eating are: 1️⃣ Hunger 2️⃣ Fullness 3️⃣ Satisfaction Fullness and satisfaction are two critical biological cues that people often overlook or confuse as being the same! Here's the difference: 2️⃣ Fullness is PHYSIOLOGICAL It is a FEELING that you can identify within your body and quantity as a number on a scale from 1-10 3️⃣ Satisfaction is PSYCHOLOGICAL It is a cognitive evaluation of how well a desire has been met. If you are unsatisfied, it will feel like an urge that you cannot stop thinking about. SO, you can be full without yet being satisfied! What do I mean by that? You can eat a high-volume meal and feel physiologically full, but if it didn't include the food(s) that you actually wanted, you likely won't feel satisfied. This is why, if you often finish eating and still want more, you are most likely restricting in some way 🤷🏻‍♀️ 🌟 A great way to become BOTH full AND satisfied is by nutrition by addition, or as I like to call it, the additive approach! AKA striving to add a variety of macronutrients for fullness + the foods that you genuinely want for satisfaction 💛 The reason that I will die on the intuitive eating hill is 1️⃣ because it's WAY more nuanced than people think, and 2️⃣ because it ALWAYS comes back to balance, abundance, and trust, rather than restriction, scarcity, and dissociation. At the end of the day, my goal is to help others take their power back from diets and restriction, relearn the joy of eating, and step into their highest self by understanding their body better than ever. Intuitive eating is the way to do just that! I can speak from personal experience, education, and my amazing Food Freedom Reroot 🪴clients who trust this process every day.
