What is going on, everyone? Welcome to another episode of the fit, healthy, and most of all,

happy podcast. As always, I'm your coach and host, Tony. Tony the Tiger. Tony the Tiger here

with his co-host, Tukan Sam. What is going on, everyone? I'm super fired up. Yeah, we want to do

something funny, but I don't know if it was funny

or cringy. You let us know, but it's relevant because today we're going to be talking all about hunger. It's placed in dieting, how to control hunger for weight loss. Like this is such a high level topic and this is something that's often overlooked. People just say, hey, eat less food. It's not a big deal.

You'll lose weight.

But it's like, wait a second.

Hunger is a very real thing.

It can impact how we function. people just say, hey, you less food, it's not a big deal, you'll lose weight. But it's like,

wait a second. Hunger is a very real thing. It can impact, you know, how we function. It can impact our energy, our libido, all these different components. So it's not something that should be overlooked. So today, we're actually going to give you eight killer tips to really, you know, effectively control this and I just want to start with a little preamble if I may that there's a big

difference in hunger so hunger is a very general effectively control this and I just want to start with a little preamble if I may that there's a big

difference in hunger so hunger is a very general and kind of abstract concept right like yes being hungry

is a thing but like to what degree like am I hungry if it's 9 p.m. at night I'm watching TV and I'm like

man I'd love to reach with something for my hand and just have something to eat right now. No, not so much. That's more so boredom, right? So you need to like, and even intuitive eating in general is such a high level concept because in theory it makes sense. Hey, eat when you're hungry, but it's harder than ever, right? Like there's fatty foods, there's sugary foods, there's commercials, there's all these different crazy things that

just makes it so hard. So the first understanding is knowing the difference between tolerable hunger

and intolerable hunger. So once again, being hungry is a very important component of weight loss,

right? Hunger really lets your body know, hey, I'm eating a little bit past my level of satiety. I am in a

deficit. And because of that, I am with a reduction of calories, I'm going to lose some weight. And that can be a great signal to us to know that we are in a deficit. Most often, if you're feeling extremely full, you're not going to be losing as much weight, unless with the exception of having an immense amount of food volume. And we're going to get more into this a little bit later on,

but really know the difference between the two. So total of hunger is like, hey, I could eat, but life goes on. You know, you're not unable to focus. You're not in pain, anything like that. Intalable hunger is when you're so hungry, you can't sleep, you can't function, you're angry, you feel lethargic, you feel de-energized like that is not absolutely

a level of hunger you want and that's where it can be tough you know like if you're doing

competition if you're doing a crash diet that's where you can kind of get the effects of that

and we do want to avoid that at all costs you know whether adjusting calorie consumption
