How To Curb Emotional Binge-Eating For A Healthier Body And Mind

December 18, 2018

It’s not uncommon that a lot of us eat our stress away. Emotional eating means turning to food for comfort, not because you’re hungry. That bag of potato chips and those chocolate chip cookies may appeal when you feel bad. But the relief doesn’t last, and it can make you overeat and gain weight.

It’s also the time when you can get thrown off your normal habits. Figure out what is essential to you functioning at your best – be it exercise, meditation or jotting your thoughts down.

Pay Attention To Taste

Don’t label food “bad ” or “good”, instead, eat what you enjoy, but do so mindfully. Slow down, pay attention to taste, and your body’s hunger and satiety cues.
