8 Listen to your appetite

Many of us have lost touch with our appetites. We tend to eat for all sorts of reasons other than hunger, including boredom, stress or just because the food is there or someone else around us is eating. Eating when you are not physically hungry will always be a barrier to weight-loss success. Learn to recognise your hunger and fullness signals. You should be hungry when it comes time to eat (but not starving, or you will overeat) and learn to stop when you are satisfied

(and not over-full).
