What Level of Hunger Are You Fulfilling?

When eating, most of people's choices are based on taste and stomach hunger. Understanding the other levels of hunger will lead to being more fulfilled (eat less/more satisfaction), not just filled.

In this video I talk about how there are different levels of hunger and how understanding them may help when choosing to eat something you may think is not so good for you. Rather than feeling guilty about eating something you want, take a moment to let other levels of your hunger be fulfilled (like eye hunger or heart hunger). Not only would you enjoy your food much more and feel satisfied with less food but you, as a whole (chemically, energetically, physically), will be in a higher state, which will allow your body to be in the best state possible to deal with the potentially "bad" food. If you are going to eat something you think is "bad" for you it is best to let every aspect of your senses and body to participate in the eating process and be fulfilled. Eating is more about being fulfilled than filled.
