Ep 92: Full but Still Wanting More? Mindful Eating, Food Noise & Blood Sugar

Have you ever finished a meal feeling physically full but still wanting something else?

Maybe you barely remember eating because you were working, scrolling, or watching television. Or perhaps you were paying attention to the food, but your mind was filled with questions: Should I be eating this? Does it have too many carbs? Will it raise my blood sugar?

People often recommend mindful eating, but what does that actually mean when your schedule is busy and your mind will not stop thinking about food?

In this episode, Jenny makes mindful eating practical. She explains how it builds on the awareness discussed in Episode 91 and how paying attention during a meal can help you better understand your hunger, fullness, satisfaction, and food noise.

You’ll learn:

• What mindful eating is and what it is not
• Why being physically full does not always mean feeling satisfied
• How restrictive food rules, stress, poor sleep, and unsatisfying meals may make food noise feel louder
• Four simple opportunities to check in before, during, halfway through, and after a meal
• A one-meal mindful eating experiment you can try this week

Mindful eating does not require complete silence, a perfectly arranged table, or an unusually long meal. It begins with creating enough space to notice what is happening and use that information to make more intentional choices.
