Glucose Guided Eating

We eat for different reasons – when we're tired, bored, with friends – and when we're hungry. Eating when you're physically hungry and stopping when you're full helps you manage your weight and your health, without having to avoid your favorite foods.
The goal of glucose guided eating is to learn to recognize when you are eating because of physical rather than emotion, sensory, or practical hunger. But it can be hard to know when you are hungry enough to eat.
The first step is to forget all those rules about what you should eat, and listen to your own body about when to eat. Everyone is different - what works for your friend might not work for you. Learn what physical hunger feels like to know when it's best for you to eat.
Measuring your glucose can help you figure out whether you are physically hungry. Checking your glucose when you are hungry can give you useful feedback.
* If your glucose is low, the feeling you are experiencing is physical hunger.
* If your glucose is high, you might be experiencing emotional or sensory hunger rather than physical hunger.
* If your glucose is low, but you don't feel hungry, there is no reason to eat.
This is a great chance to experiment with different amounts and types of foods. Pay attention to how you feel (both physically and mentally) and how your glucose reacts.This is a great chance to experiment with different amounts and types of foods.
