Are you “listening?

Hunger vs. Satiety Chart

 

1...………………….Stuffed to the point of feeling sick

2…Very uncomfortable, you need to loosen your belt

3….………….……Uncomfortable full, you are stuffed

4…..….…Very full, you feel like you have over eaten

5…………………...Comfortably full, you are satisfied

6……………………Contented, neither full nor hungry

7………………………….Beginning signals of hunger

8……………………………………Hungry need to eat

9…………………Very hungry, unable to concentrate

10……………..………………Starving, dizzy, irritable

 

 

 

Where are you right now on this chart? At number five you have satiety, if you are above this

number on the chart you have over eaten. If you are at six, you are neutral, neither hungry nor full.

If you are at a seven, then you are beginning to get hungry and need to consider eating soon. If

you let your hunger go for a while, you will start to feel the physical signs of hunger.

Clueless about weight loss and weight loss surgery of any kind.

AWESOME CHART!..... I hover between 5 and 6 mostly unless I get so preoccupied with something that I forget to eat and get lightheaded...  I try to avoid doing this though although I fall into this bad habit more often than I like as I can get so totally absorbed and distracted at times...  ... to tell the truth I can't recall ever feeling hungry since my surgery ....

Hi Paula,

Thanks for posting this chart.  I especially like the line "Are you listening?"  That goes for eating in response to the physical cues of hunger and the head hunger. 

I've printed it out and is on my refrigerator!

Thanks, Cathy
