Dana and Cristina dig into how the hunger-fullness scale is commonly used vs. how it can be better used to bring insight to your eating patterns. They also discuss how the dieting and weight loss world has tried to co-opt the hunger-fullness scale as a tool for weight loss, when the intention of this tool was never to be used for weight loss. What are the pitfalls of the hunger-fullness scale, and how can it contribute to disordered eating patterns? What happens if you don’t have any physical hunger cues? How can we use this tool in a positive way to understand our bodies’ signals, and learn to trust our bodies again, and improve our relationship with food?
