Did you know that when we are born that we have an instinctive ability to eat only what we need? At this time period of our lives, we only eat when we are hungry and refuse food when we are satisfied. Sadly, a lot of us loose this ability as we grow up, and some of us get so far away from it that we end up adding a lot of unnecessary fat to our bodies. We are taught to ignore our signals of fullness and we stop relying on true hunger cues to signal us that it is time to eat.
