Hungry or Just Mindlessly Munching? Use the Hunger Meter Test. . .




Before you sit down to eat, try this simple test:

1. Take a minute to assess your hunger level.

2. Rate it on a scale of 1 (ravenous) to 10 (totally stuffed).

3. If your hunger is at a 4 or higher, it's time to eat. Waiting until you're at a 2 or a 3 will put you at risk for overeating.

4. Start to slow down when you get to a 6 or 7 and reassess. Are you still eating to satisfy hunger at this point? Or are you eating for the sake of eating?
