In this episode of "Make Peace With Food," host Emily LaVoie dives into the nuanced world of hunger, breaking down the often misunderstood concept of "emotional hunger" versus "emotional eating." Emily emphasizes that using food to address unmet emotional needs doesn't make one a bad person. Instead, she encourages developing a "toolbox" of alternative coping mechanisms.
Join Emily as she explores the four distinct types of hunger: physical, taste, emotional, and practical. You'll learn how to differentiate between these types, recognize their unique characteristics, and appreciate the importance of honoring your hunger cues to foster a healthier relationship with food.
Physical hunger, emotional hunger, taste hunger, and practical hunger each have their role and significance. Emily provides practical advice on how to identify these feelings before reaching for food, understanding it's a common journey to forget at first but crucial for long-term well-being.
In a special segment, Emily shares her delightful culinary experience with chicken shawarma, illustrating how savoring new flavors can bring joy and satisfaction. Throughout the episode, she reassures listeners that all forms of hunger are valid, including emotional and taste, and it's okay to indulge for emotional reasons if that's what you need.
This episode also touches on the broader themes of healing one's relationship with food and improving body image, all while avoiding triggering topics like calories and weight.
Whether you're dealing with physical hunger pangs or an intense craving for a favorite treat, Emily's insights will help you approach food with more awareness and less self-criticism. She reminds listeners to aim for realistic goals rather than perfection, offering personalized support through one-on-one coaching and free consultations available on her website.
