However you define it, with asserting that, you have to acknowledge the closely related idea that there's something off if you are "full" (as you've defined it) but still not feeling full - or satiated. It's that broken state that so many of us are desperate to solve.
I call it "brain hunger" and "body hunger". Over time I learned to notice the difference.
Brain hunger is just brain going "heeey, your stomach is empty, I don't like it", or "we just did a bunch , it's evening, me want tasty food as reward", or "we haven't eaten that tasty thing for a while, give food now?". The "fuck off brain, you're not hungry, you're bored" state.
Body hunger is change in physiology, not just "tummy feeing empty", my hands and legs get colder and I feel a bit more awake and on edge. And, well, annoyed.
- 0xB31B1B 4y agoHaving felt both “brain hunger/body hunger” And “obesity hunger/glp1 hunger” they are very different. The glp1 drugs remove a compulsion to eat that many thin people just don’t have. It’s like being a smoker, and then nearly instantly no longer craving cigarettes and finding the smell of ciagrettes unappealing. It’s not a remotely subtle change at all.
- ilyt 4y agoYeah the "I know I don't need to eat but I want to" is the most annoying part of trying to get thinner
