THERE ARE 7 TYPES OF HUNGER
Eye hunger. Eye hunger is when you SEE a tempting-looking food, and then you want it. The cookies in the office breakroom are a perfect example. You probably walked into the breakroom without any thought of eating a cookie, but as soon as they appear in front of you, you want one.
2) Nose hunger. Nose hunger can also be thought of as the “Cinnabon effect.” You’re in the mall, minding your own business, when all of sudden, you’re hit with the sweet smell of fresh-baked cinnamon rolls. You hadn’t thought about it beforehand, but as soon as that luscious scent hits your nose, you want a cinnabon.
3) Mouth hunger. Have you ever craved something crunchy? It didn’t really matter what it was, as long as it promised to provide a satisfying crunch. Enter mouth hunger: the craving for foods that will provide us with a specific sensation in our mouths. Crunchiness or creaminess are the two most commonly-craved sensations.
4) Stomach hunger. Stomach hunger is the most obvious of the seven types. When our stomachs are empty and growling for food, our bodies are telling us that we have a physical need for energy and nourishment.
5) Mind hunger. Mind hunger is full of “shoulds.” Usually mind hunger consists of all that we’ve heard about nutrition and healthy eating. I should eat some vegetables. I should eat more protein. The more we pay attention to dietary advice from the media, or the more we read diet books, the more mind hunger comes into play.
6) Cellular hunger. Have you ever been on a vacation where you indulged in plenty of rich food and drink? Predictably, after a few days, you start to crave a simple meal. A small bowl of steamed veggies sounds amazing. This is your body wisdom; your cells are telling you what they need.
7) Heart hunger. Heart hunger is responsible for emotional eating. When we eat because we’re sad, or because we’re lonely, or because we’re feeling unfulfilled, we’re trying to assuage that deep, soul-level hunger with food.
