A 24-year-old doctor provides a "hunger scale" that will help to establish proper nutrition

My patients often say that try to eat what the body requires. By a surprising coincidence, their bodies most often require a chocolate bar or hamburger, and not, say, soybeans. Although soybeans are much more beneficial.

You Confuse Hunger for Thirst: A Simple Scheme to Help You Avoid Overeating

I can responsibly declare to you: our body, of course, itself knows what it needs, but we, alas, do not know how to correctly interpret the urges of the body.

And we reduce everything to "wrong" food, at the same time endowing it with the properties of rewards and rewards.

The simplest example: we confuse thirst and hunger. Often it seems to us that we want to eat, but in fact we suffer from thirst.

How to understand: when is it really time to eat

The minimum interval between meals should be about 3-4 hours, no more than 5. At this time, your appetite for hunger scale (below) is approximately at level 4.

This is the right time to eat.

There are scales with different gradations, but let's take the most detailed one.

Level 1. Unbearable hunger. Weakness, fainting.

Level 2. Severe hunger, nausea, zero mood, you are ready for a lot for food.

Level 3. I really want to eat, my stomach growls, but the rules of decency have not yet been forgotten.

Level 4. Perceptible hunger, anticipation of a meal brings joy.

Level 5. You are hungry, but not enough to seek food.

Level 6. Light hunger, you are ready to feast on, but not to eat, say, borscht.

Level 7. Satiety. The level felt by people without excess weight.

Level 8. Excessive satiety. The level of satiety experienced by overweight people. The beginning of the deposition of fat.

Level 9. The stomach is full, I want to take a pill that will help with digestion

Level 10. Heavy, eaten food does not bring pleasure. Vomiting seems like a salvation.

And let me remind you that in order to stay within the framework of health and harmony, you need to take every meal seriously: try to maintain a balance of proteins-fats-carbohydrates. This is the only way to feed the body normally.
