Stressful Eating Tips

Some people have a tendency to eat when they are anxious or feeling stressed. They look for control or comfort in their foods.

Here are just a few ways to help getting around those time when we eat out of stress:
Drink a glass of water - focus on finishing that glass of water can help. Plus it helps your brain, and everything else, function.
Know your weaknesses - don’t buy those “crutch” type foods. You know the ones you go to in that moment of weakness.
Get out of the kitchen - find something to do to relieve that stress that isn’t in the kitchen. Meditation, yoga, your favorite hobbies are the best way to distract yourself. And do them a a room farthest from the kitchen.
Avoid drinking caffeine. It will only make the stress feel more intense.
Try to eat 5 or 6 small meals a day. This helps to even out your blood sugar. You won’t have those “afternoon” carvings.


Happy eating.
