Hunger pains! How many of us have used that phrase? Think about it. How painful are these hunger pangs? Hitting your thumb with a hammer…stubbing your toe in the dark….a paper cut-- now these are pains! The gnawing feeling we get in our stomach is at best a nag or an annoyance. Right? Be honest.
So from now on, let's look at this feeling as a communication from our stomach. Just a note reminding us that it is there, doing its work while we do ours. It will go back to its work and check in with us later. No need to toss food at it. Just acknowledge it and go on. Sometimes, when I'm alone so no one thinks I am nuts, I will gently pat my stomach in acknowledgement and thank it for doing a good job.
The Difference Between Glucose Hunger and Ketosis Hunger
We have all felt the panic of glucose hunger. It has a sense of urgency. For example: you are driving home from work and about fifteen minutes away from home when all of a sudden your stomach starts screaming at you:
"May Day! I'm starving! I can't make it home. Quick, pull into the next fast food joint. Grab that burger and supersize those fries. And if you gobble it all down before we get home, it doesn't count. Then we can relax and have a nice supper."
Be honest - how many of you have gone through a fast food drive through because it was there? Or out of habit? Think how silly you looked, and how dangerous it was, to drive and munch on a hamburger - fries (and maybe dipping sauce) on your console, and a diet drink to wash it all down. Well, no more - think of the freedom of being able to drive past each and every fast food place on your route!
Here is what Ketosis hunger feels like:
"Hey - how're doing? Just checking in. No big deal down here. Finish what you are doing….catch you in a few hours. "
It is a non-emergency, non- hysterical kind of communication from your stomach. Maybe a nudge, not even a nag. And it can easily be ignored. Or even satisfied with more of that liquid lifesaver: WATER.
Think of this new found freedom. Your body will be fed, you will live, and you can avoid all the junk your Glucose Hunger was screaming at you to toss into your stomach, only to live on your body as fat. It is a great feeling being in control of feeding your best self.
Please forward this to anyone you know who is interested, or should be, in the Keto lifestyle.
