Foods loaded with sugar and processed carbs do a great job at feeding you emotionally by stimulating “feel good” hormones like serotonin, but they do nothing much in the way of fueling your body with the nutrients it needs.
Recognise when you’re physically hungry vs. psychologically hungry. Instead of eating through your emotions, recognise what’s really going on and be proactive in a healthier way.
When you’re stressed, for instance, destress by calling a friend, taking a bath, journaling, taking a walk or turning on some music and dancing it out. You’ll feel better afterwards without having the guilt of eating something not-so-good-for-you.
