Todays topic is hunger pangs. Here's an article talking a bit about it.
https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/321725
How do you experience actual hunger?
I'm one who feels hunger pangs strongly. Sometimes it's like a gnawing and other times it is actual pain and even nausea. My partner on the other hand says he never feels hungry and doesn't understand my pangs at all.4 -
Sunday Jan 9
Exercise: Yes - 45 minute Spin Bike The Trip workout

I was unable to post for a few days due to being away with minimal internet. I hope that everyone has been going well this last week!9 -
Interesting topic @LazyBlondeChef ! I strongly believe that aromas cause hunger pangs 95% of the time when they are "false". My own hunger cues have probably been screwed up since I was a teen so I don't typically listen to them. I know that the cues are greatly decreased after exercise and greatly increased if I walk by someone eating a very aromatic meal. Perhaps since you are a "chef" (I think) you are subject to a lot of the aroma type.4

@LazyBlondeChef - very interesting article. I’ve not heard of that hormone before. The point about how eating junk triggers the hunger pain response while eating healthy does not, is so so true. It’s like a circle for me. The more healthy I eat, the healthier I want to eat, the less I eat, the better I feel, the healthier I eat. But throw in a donut and the circle starts to look like an oval and if I’m not careful, I’m suddenly on a circle of junk wants more junk. I have made tremendous progress in the past year, and now I have another piece of this puzzle. Thanks!4

I have a had a different problem for most of my life. I don’t seem to get the ‘I’ve had enough’ signals. I seldom feel full. I have read that there is a gene involved, or should I say the lack of a gene. Who knows!6 -

I’m so pleased with myself today, we went to a friends house for dinner. This is where I always, always over do it! I decided in advance that I wouldn’t have a drink and to ensure my dinner portion wasn’t too big. I did it! Which meant I was able to have a bit of dessert because I’d been careful all day in advance. I’m definitely getting back in the swing of being mindful all day. What a relief.
@LazyBlondeChef tyanks for the article, I think that I experience more hunger pangs when I eat too much sugar. And I definitely feel less hunger when I have a good breakfast. I never eat breakfast cereal any more as it just seems to set me up on the hunger rollercoaster. My husband doesn’t really get hunger pangs either. I find that quite annoying!4 -

Good topic @LazyBlondeChef
Carby meals increase my appetite and I feel hunger pangs. With lean protein and low-ish carbs I don’t get hunger pangs. I’m currently on a vicious carb cycle that I need to get off of!
With high carbs I struggle to keep my calories at maintenance. When I focus on lean proteins and veg I can easily eat at below my bmr.
✅ exercise - I took, probably the best yoga class of my life today! It was a restorative yoga which was great for my achy joints but it was so much more than that: sound bath, essential oils… 🤩
✅ calories - maintenance
✅ tracking

Pass day number 2 today.
I was a really fat kid and there were a lot of really weird emotional attachments to food both positive and negative growing up. So my hungry and full feelings are kind of permanently broken. I don't really feel hungry very often appropriately. I feel hungry when it's close to time to eat or when I'm feeling emotional rather than when I'm actually hungry. Actual hunger is very rare for me.
It's cool. The tracking and understanding what a day of food should look like helps. I just know for me personally I need that as I can't intuitively eat.5 -
@LazyBlondeChef Interesting article, ty for sharing!
I've had hunger pangs in the past. I don't think I've really had them in recent years. I get hungry but am never deprived or delayed to the point of hunger pangs. I have low blood sugar so I get shaky and light headed and fatigued if I don't eat. For years I used to eat something every 3 hours so I didn't get to that point. I have been trying fasting until lunch recently but on those days I add protein powder to my morning coffee when I do it so my sugar stays balanced. However I am a huge emotional & stress eater. And I don't ever really feel full. I think this is from years of eating everything on my plate. When I'm dieting I generally eat what I think is an appropriate portion and then I make myself wait 20 minutes to see if I still feel hungry. Usually if I wait the 20 minutes I am satiated.
Today is a no x3 day. It started out okay but we did a meal share with our 2 neighbours; we all made a dish or two. I decided not to worry about tracking. I am certain I am over calories. And I didn't exercise today unless I count food preparation and a bit of housework as exercise today.6 -
@LazyBlondeChef - I have a friend that always says she forgets to eat! I'm the total opposite, food is always on my mind. I relate to @TerriRichardson112 and @Geneveremfp!!
Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? Yes, 65 minutes Peloton bike, 20 minutes strength training, 20 minutes stretching.
Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? Yes
Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? Yes

Interesting topic! I would have to overeat to the point of discomfort to feel full. I literally could eat two large pizzas before maybe feeling full, maybe not. I generally have to be content with knowing I've had as much as I've chosen to eat. But I seldom get hunger pangs. When I do feel a strong hunger urge and I choose not to eat, a glass of water usually solves it.5 -

❌❌✅ no real exercise today. I did a little bit of cleaning around the house and cut my hubby's hair, but it was rainy/gloomy outside and Im still not feeling 100%.

Great article. I'm like @Bill70sStrong , I feel like I'm 'hungry' all the time. Lol. But I've learned to stop and analyze and ask if I'm REALLY hungry. Since the 1st, I've been able to get myself off the cookies, chocolates and goodies.... so I'm doing better. I'm trying to transition to a more whole food, plant based diet.5 -

*Nature hike carrying bub while he screamed the whole way. Lol! Was still lovely.
*Journaling
* Used some exercise calories as 200 over maintaince.
* Tracked honestly
* Monitored sugars but over
* No pass days used
@mshwaki I skimmed over a post of urs that I can't find now but u were talking about ur exercise calories.. I never used to use my exercise calories but for me personally it was not sustainable so now I just do it once or twice a week wen the fam is eating something really yummy I dnt want to miss out on. I am getting more comfortable using my exercise calories wen I want to indulge and this takes away guilt of going over calories and also stops me from having a pass day as I dnt handle pass days responsibly. I hve a go all out mentality wen it comes to pass days so I am trying to stop taking them this month. Hopefully I still get results from wat i am doing. Good luck finding wat works 4 u. Keep me posted with Wat u decide and how it all goes I'll also let u know how i go with my lil experiment.lol Good to learn from each other right!! He he Xox
