We are often cautioned to ignore our feelings of hunger or run the danger of gaining weight. However, according to scientific research, it is best to pay attention to your body and heed its cues about when it is time to eat. Ignoring sensations of hunger is the core tenet of a great number of well-liked diets, such as those that include calculating calories or restricting meals to certain times of the day.

According to studies, obeying our hunger cues and eating only when we experience physical hunger is beneficial to both our mental and physical health. This practice is referred to as eating intuitively. A research found that those who did not limit the amount of food they consumed had a lower body weight and reported being happy with themselves and their bodies than those who did.

According to the findings of certain studies, paying attention to the cues sent by our bodies is more essential than adhering to “the newest popular diet or eating plan.” More than 6,000 young people from eight different nations participated in the online survey and responded to questions about their levels of self-esteem and body mass index (BMI). BMI is a measurement that determines whether an individual’s weight is considered healthy or unhealthy. The researchers looked at three different approaches to eating: emotional, intuitive, and restricted.

Consuming food in reaction to internal signals such as feelings of sadness or stress is an example of emotional eating. Consumption of food is severely curtailed with the intent of either achieving or maintaining a certain body mass index. Analysis indicated that the more individuals ate in accordance with their intuition, the more satisfied they were with their bodies. They also had a lower body mass index and greater levels of self-esteem.

On the other side, greater levels of constrained and emotional eating were related with poorer levels of body satisfaction and worse levels of self-esteem, in addition to being connected with being overweight.
