I'm four months into reta and still surprised by which signals move first. I keep a bare-bones note: morning hunger, afternoon energy, evening thirst.
Around the third month, my morning hunger started reading lower more often — maybe a 3/10 instead of a 6/10 — but only when I sleep well. The clearer change is that evening thirst now shows up before boredom snacking does.
I used to misread that dry, restless feeling as hunger and go looking for something crunchy. Now I pour a big glass of water and wait ten minutes, and the urge often fades.
I'm not trying to make it complicated; I just like having a few honest checkpoints. Did thirst or fullness come through for you before appetite changed?
I'm curious what your earliest signal was.
