Key Takeaways
Hunger is a perception shaped by emotion, not just a biological signal from your body.
The amount of mental space food occupies is a key indicator of whether your relationship with it is healthy.
Rigid diet rules are easier to start but create guilt, shame, and obsession that make them impossible to sustain.
Major life transitions like moving or starting a new job are optimal windows to reinvent your eating habits.
Difficult conversations about food work better when had sideways, while walking or driving, rather than face-to-face.
Childhood reward and punishment patterns around food create scripts that shape adult eating behaviour.
