• 0:59
  Speaker 3: something that I I need, not to be a fatto.
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: So what let's go. Let's get into this one.
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: Okay. So we're talking about tracking our hunger instead of
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: through calories, uh, basically tuning into our body. So using
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: a hunger and fullness scale, which raised ranges from one
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: to ten, and one is like you will have a
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: headache and you're dizzy and you're gonna pass out because
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: you're so so hungry, And ten is like maybe post
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: Thanksgiving dinner when you need to unzip your pants because
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: you're really really full and you need a mass belt.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: This is kind of that.
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: I got it. I got the greatest tips for Bill.
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: Here.
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: Just a second, I'm sore everywhere my belt row. All right,
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: let's just waffle thin, go ahead. So yeah, okay, so
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: I got the scale. Now how do you what do
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: you do?
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: Bruits and format to get familiar with how you feel
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: when you're hungry and how you feel when you're full.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: So paying attention to our body, and some of these
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: cues might be things like I mentioned already, your stomach growling,
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: you start to get a little bit of a headache.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: And of course when we're feeling overly full, maybe we're
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: very sleepy, feeling a little bloated, and just paying attention
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: while we're eating, so slowing down and just kind of
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: checking in with our body in that way.
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's like my rings. When my rings are loose,
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: I know that I have been not been overeating. My
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: rings are kind of.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: I love that. Yeah, you can teven into non physical
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: cues as well. Yeah, pay attention to how clothing and
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: jewelry feels on your body can help you know for sure.
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: Now, what about when you sit down or do you
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: have some advices sit down to eat?
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: Yes, so be present with your food and your eating experiences.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: And all this really means is that we're maybe putting
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: our phones away, We're looking at our food before we eat,
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: We're noticing the way it feels in our mouths, the
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: taste of it, chewing enough before we swallow. Just things
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: like this that you know, we we try and teach
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: our kids to do, and sometimes as grown ups we
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: kind of we kind of forget.
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: So you shouldn't. You shouldn't.
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: I mean I have the tendency sometimes to read something
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: while I'm eating, and I shouldn't. I shouldn't distract myself
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: like that or watch TV. Yeah.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, So the ideal is to be fully focused on
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: your food and of course, if you're eating with family,
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: paying attention to them as well. But yeah, putting away
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: other distractions.
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: I'm sorry, I can't talk. I'm staring intently at my plate.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: Conversation with your family, yeah, yes, yes, Now what are these?
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: What do you when you say non hunger eating triggers?
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: What does that mean.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: Yes, So these are things like emotional eating. So sometimes
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: we eat when we're bored, we eat when we're sad,
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: we eat when we're trying to socialize, things like that,
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: and not that there's anything wrong necessarily with doing these things,
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: just becoming aware of what your specific cues are. You know, if,
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: for example, when I get very stressed, I really want
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: a snack so that I can stop thinking about my
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: stress and just focus on having my snack.
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: What you ate that whole chicken? I was bored?
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: Yes, exactly, exactly, I.
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: Need something to do, and so recognize and everybody has
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: different you know. Some people eat when they're bored, some
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: people eat when they're anxious. Unfortunately, when I'm bored, anxious,
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: or when I'm happy.
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: Anything.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, So just start to recognize those things and maybe
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: as you're sitting down with that snack, just label it,
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: say okay, right now I'm eating because I'm bored, and
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: you can still eat that. Just be aware of why
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: you're eating.
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: Okay, and then eat for sayety, which means what like fullness? Right,
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: eat for ye fullness and satisfactory Yeah exactly.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, So food is fuel obviously, it keeps us alive,
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: keeps our body running. But it's also something that we
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: take a lot of pleasure in and we can enjoy
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: our food. So we want to we want to find
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: a balance of both when we're eating, so eat food
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: that fuels our body, makes us strong and fast and
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: all of those things, and also eat food that brings
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: us joy and makes us feel warm and cozy.
• 5:45

• 5:49
  Speaker 2: potato bites talking about.
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah, those are really good for you, potatoes balad. That's
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: balance and that's okay.
