Quotes to ponder:
"The easiest way to use a hunger scale is to give yourself a spectrum from 1-10, ‘1’ being ravenous, and ‘10’ being uncomfortably stuffed."
"Cravings and thirst can often masquerade as hunger. Having several large glasses of water between breakfast and lunch can be enough to eliminate the need for a morning snack."
"Feeling your stomach rumble a little is not an unhealthy or undesirable experience. It’s simply slightly uncomfortable, and you should attend to it."
