What else is a healthy diet about?

It is also about learning to recognize when I have already eaten enough.

What can I tell myself when I still feel the urge to eat?

For example: “I ate enough protein by 9:00 p.m. I don’t need to keep eating just because I still have the urge to eat.”

Does a healthy diet mean restricting what I eat?

The goal is not restriction. It is teaching myself to separate physical need from habit, craving, boredom, or the desire for more stimulation.

Questions people ask

How do I know when I have already eaten enough?

A healthy diet includes learning to recognize when you have already eaten enough. Here is one example: “I ate enough protein by 9:00 p.m.” You see what you have already eaten and tell yourself you do not need to keep eating. Noticing this takes a skill called awareness, and you can learn it. The goal is not restriction.

What is the difference between needing food and wanting food?

Needing food is a physical need. Wanting more food can come from habit, craving, boredom, or the desire for more stimulation. Healthy eating includes learning this difference. The goal is not restriction. It is teaching yourself to tell a physical need from the other reasons you might want to eat.

Does the urge to eat always mean I need more food?

No. Having the urge to eat does not always mean you need more food. You can tell yourself: “I don’t need to keep eating just because I still have the urge to eat.” Seeing that the urge and the need are two different things is part of learning to recognize when you have already eaten enough.
