Great question! Hunger is completely normal during detox—but we’ve got you covered. Here are our top 3 research-backed tips to help you manage hunger and cravings with ease:
1. Ride the wave
Hunger comes in waves - thanks to your body’s natural hormone fluctuations (hello, ghrelin and leptin!). A sudden spike in hunger is often just a temporary hormonal rise. Trust your body, it will rebalance soon. Take a few deep breaths, sip some tea, and remind yourself that this feeling will pass.
2. Boost your food’s visual volume
Did you know that how much food looks like you’re eating matters? Studies show that increasing the visual volume of meals (without upping calories) helps you feel fuller. Try adding crunchy cucumber, onion, or lettuce to bulk up your meals. Use smaller bowls and plates to trick your brain into feeling more satisfied and avoid oversized food packages where you can.
3. Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate
Water does more than flush out toxins—it also helps you feel full by activating stretch receptors in your stomach. Herbal teas (especially our P2 Fat Burning Tea with cinnamon) can also help curb cravings and support blood sugar balance. Explore our detox-friendly teas here:
