Hello podcast listener, how are you? I am fine. Today I want to talk about hunger, satiety and

intuitive eating or eating more intuitively because intuitive eating is actually a concept in itself

and that's not exactly what I'm going to be speaking about.

and then we are accountable to them and it's a bit of an eye-opening tool. Not only this, but it

kind of shows us where we are. So it makes us quite easy as a coach to then make adaptations
