Hunger is the physical need for food. Appetite is the desire for the sensory pleasure and emotional gratification we get from food. When hunger and appetite coincide, it's time to eat. But as you well know, it is possible to experience appetite when you're not actually hungry. Your body doesn't need food right now, but you want some anyhow. As a naturally thin person, you can tell the difference. You say to yourself, "That bacon smells fantastic. But I'm not really hungry right now." Or, "It's noon and I need a break. But I don't feel hungry for lunch." Or, "I'm feeling emotionally empty and I seem to need something. But I'm not physically hungry." You are not confused by irrelevant impulses to eat, because you are able to distinguish appetite from genuine hunger. Learn more @ www.thintuition.com
