Tuning Into Intuition, Part 2: How to Use the Hunger-Fullness Scale in Intuitive Eating—Explained

Written By Elizabeth Harris

Do you struggle to understand or respect your fullness cues? This is often one of the last pieces of the puzzle to fit into place on the Intuitive Eating journey. We’re making it easier by explaining how to use the hunger fullness scale, giving examples, recognizing barriers to feeling your fullness, and sharing how to more effectively connect with your fullness and other eating cues. 

We talk about our own discoveries related to learning from and listening to our bodies when dealing with hunger, eating, and nutrition.

Satisfaction is such an important and undervalued component of feeling full 

and actually landing on a way of eating that feels good for you. 

- Elizabeth Harris
