Eating only when you’re hungry can have several effects, both ✅positive and 🚩challenging, depending on how well you tune into your body’s hunger cues. Here’s what happens:

Positive Outcomes
✅Improved Portion Control
You’re more likely to eat just enough to satisfy your body’s energy needs, reducing the risk of overeating.
✅Better Relationship with Food
It encourages mindful eating and helps you avoid eating out of boredom, stress, or habit.
✅Weight Regulation
Eating only when hungry often aligns calorie intake with your body’s natural energy requirements, which can support weight loss or maintenance.
✅Reduced Digestive Strain
Fewer, well-timed meals may improve digestion and reduce bloating, as your body gets adequate time to process food.
✅Heightened Body Awareness
You learn to distinguish between true hunger and cravings, making it easier to make healthier choices.

Challenges
🚩Risk of Undereating
If you wait too long to eat, you might miss your hunger cues or eat less than your body needs, leading to fatigue or nutrient deficiencies.
🚩Increased Cravings
Prolonged hunger can cause intense cravings, especially for high-calorie, sugary, or fatty foods, which may lead to overeating.
🚩Mood Swings and Energy Dips
Low blood sugar from delayed eating can lead to irritability, brain fog, and decreased energy levels.
🚩Overeating When Famished
If you let yourself get too hungry, you may eat quickly and consume more calories than intended.
🚩Unstructured Eating
Without set meal times, it may be hard to plan balanced meals, potentially leading to an unbalanced diet.

Best Practices
✔️Learn Your Cues: Differentiate between physical hunger (e.g., stomach growling) and emotional cravings.
✔️Don’t Wait Too Long: Eat when you’re moderately hungry, not starving, to avoid overeating.
✔️Plan Ahead: Keep healthy snacks handy to prevent impulsive food choices.
✔️Stay Balanced: Ensure your meals include a mix of protein, fiber, and healthy fats to stay satiated longer.

Childhood obesity is a growing world problem but new Nigerian mums are forcing their babies to add weight when the kids are not underweight!

14/12/2024

I work with obese children everyday. Just to help them get back to their normal weight and BMI daily. Some already have high blood sugar because of what parents are feeding them.
PLEASE STOP THE IGNORANCE hand be informed!!

14/12/2024

If you keep overfeeding a child and they become obese, they are going to struggle with health unnecessary health problems in future! Nigerian women be warned!
A child being naturally slim is not a bad thing!

14/12/2024

Why does every Nigerian woman want their child to be “fat”? Leave your children the way they are! Just feed them well. Do not overfeed just to make the add unnecessary weight!!!
