When was the last time I ate? Did I skip any meals? Were my meals adequately satisfying and substantial - did they include enough satisfying foods like protein and fiber-rich foods? Did I enjoy what I ate today - was there pleasure with my food? Am I adequately hydrated? Am I restricting any foods currently? Are there foods that feel off-limits to me? Is this emotional hunger and cravings or is it physical hunger? What am I noticing right now about my physical body and signs of hunger?  What am I feeling right now? What emotions are either present or possibly lingering under the surface needing my attention?  Am I just stressed, bored, sad, or upset and needing comfort? Will food offer me that comfort or is there something else that may help me to either self-soothe or safely investigate the root of the emotion I am feeling? What particular food sounds good? Would this food leave me feeling good? How do I want to feel after I eat this?

Do you struggle with low appetite, poor hunger signaling, and an inability to recognize when you are truly hungry? Maybe you are on the other end of the spectrum with an insatiable hunger or appetite, you are always hungry and you feel like a bottomless pit. Many people have gotten so accustomed to ignoring their hunger cues (this is usually thanks to years of dieting and restriction), being undernourished being busy, working through meal time, snacking or grazing on the go, skipping meals, eating mindlessly or with many distractions, and without the space to be more mindful.

Listen in for a list of the most common signs and symptoms that you might not be eating enough food, but first you must promise to come in with an open mind. It would shock most people to know that this is the most common root cause I see in my functional nutrition practice, especially with women clients and IMHO it isn't talked about enough. Thanks to diet culture we are constantly bombarded by messaging of eat less and move more, "eat clean", cut out this food to heal your body and people are more confused then ever on what to eat, how to eat and the best ways to nourish their bodies. Often this leads to a lack of proper nourishment and the effects are downright catastrophic. I encourage everyone to listen to this episode, yes, even if you feel that you have body fat to lose, especially if you aren't achieving your goals despite how hard you try, listen to this episode and consider that you may in fact need to eat MORE food.   Resources mentioned in this episode:  The PARTY Plate Method Gut Health Gummies Trust + Thrive Waitlist Follow me on Instagram: @bethmanosbrickey @tastyyummies Email me: beth@tasty-yummies.com Check out the Tasty Yummies Webstore here.

In this episode learn the 5 big signs that you are properly nourished and why nourishment is so important.
