Victoria Yates, RN joins to discuss the second principle of Intuitive Eating: Honor Your Hunger. We explore the differences between early and late hunger cues, and how to respond to them. We also touch on the impact of diet culture on our perception of hunger and the spiritual practice of fasting.

Victoria also provides practical advice on managing hunger between meals and emphasizes the importance of viewing hunger as a gift and a way to better understand our bodies.

We discuss:

The spectrum of hunger and subtle signs you may not recognize
Why it’s important to respond rather than waiting too long
What to do with situations when we are hungry but can’t eat (or have the time to eat but we aren’t hungry)
Fasting and the difference of spiritual fasting vs. diet culture fasting
When it’s not appropriate to fast
When the schedule we have doesn’t coincide with our hunger

Victoria Yates is a registered nurse, certified health coach and certified intuitive eating & body image coach for women, specializing in helping women to stop dieting & love their bodies through learning how to eat intuitively. With all the pressure to eat perfectly & have a perfect body, it’s no wonder that you feel stressed about how you should eat. Victoria teaches how to have a healthy lifestyle built on the science behind intuitive eating and deepen your relationship with yourself so that you never have to go on another diet ever again.
