What Cutting Calories Really Feels Like
The conversations we have around calorie restriction often ignore the biological and psychological challenges. It's not a matter of willpower; it's a battle against your body's survival instincts. We want to hear from you about this experience.
What's a specific biological signal you've noticed (e.g., intense cravings at a certain time of day, feeling cold)? What's a "mental trick" you've learned to deal with the feelings of hunger? How has your perspective on hunger and satiety changed?

Cutting calories isn’t just about discipline — it’s about managing your body’s natural survival responses.
What have you noticed?
• Any biological signals (like cravings, fatigue, or feeling cold)?
• Any mental strategies that help you handle hunger?
• How has your view of hunger and fullness changed over time?
