180 - "I literally feel like I am eating so much and just don't feel full!"

A few weeks ago, I threw up a Q&A box on my Instagram stories, and one submission was an immediate screenshot and save moment: “I literally feel like I am eating so much and just don’t feel full.” (thank you to the woman who submitted it) I knew right then and there this had to be a pod episode. I’ve been there—three different times in my life, actually—and I was clueless as to why this was happening. So today on the pod, I chat about my experiences with this feeling, what I ended up learning about why you can be eating enough and still not feel full, and how I eventually got to a place where I could feel and honor my fullness with very little effort. You'll also hear me chat about: The various physical, psychological, behavioral, and biological reasons you can eat and still may not feel your fullness  My clean eating / high volume foods era  My transition to flexible dieting and macro counting and how it initially felt liberating until it became suffocating  My doubts with intuitive eating What the beginning of my intuitive eating journey felt like  Extreme hunger and feeling insatiable The journey of rebuilding trust with food and my body How I eventually was able to feel my fullness ____ Subscribe to my free newsletter, Weekly Wisdom for a Well-Lived Life, for more tips and to be the first to know when new episodes drop.
