By following a few simple steps—including pausing to evaluate, hydrating, and assessing the source of hunger—one can gain insight into whether the body truly requires nourishment or if other emotional needs are at play. Ultimately, adopting a balanced approach to eating, focusing on nutrient-dense foods, and addressing emotional triggers can help cultivate a healthier relationship with food and alleviate constant feelings of hunger.
