Understanding Stomach Hunger
Stomach hunger is physical hunger caused by your body needing energy. Eating balanced meals regularly helps support fullness, energy and overall health.
Understanding Head Hunger
Head hunger is the urge to eat driven by thoughts, habits, emotions or triggers rather than physical hunger. Managing it involves awareness, routine meals, reducing triggers and self-kindness.
Understanding Heart Hunger
Heart hunger is emotional eating driven by stress or feelings, not physical hunger. Understanding triggers and practising self-care can help manage it.
Managing Appetite on a Very Low Energy Diet (VLED)
If you are following a Very Low Energy Diet (VLED), it is very common to notice changes in appetite, especially during the transition into the diet (the first few days up to around 1 to 2 weeks).
