Eat to escape from problems often sabotaging attempts to lose weight.
Many people turn to food for comfort, consciously or unconsciously, when faced with a difficult problem or when seeking to be employed. But eating for emotional reasons-namely, to remove or soften eat negative emotions such as stress, anger, anxiety, sadness and loneliness-can sabotage efforts to lose weight.
Often, this way of eating leads to eating too much food, especially those of many calories, and sweet foods, salty or very high in fats. But the good news is that if one is inclined to this way of eating, can take action to regain control of their eating habits and implemented to achieve their weight loss goals.
Why the negative emotions lead to eating more? Some foods have addictive qualities. When you eat chocolate, for example, the body releases greater amounts of narcotic substances that provide feeling of satisfaction. Such rewards can reinforce the preference for foods that are very connected with specific sensations.
The food can also be a distraction. If one is worried about future events or think repeatedly in past conflicts, eating foods that comfort can distract. But the distraction was only temporary. When you finish eating, attention turns to the concerns and one can now bear the additional weight of guilt for having eaten more of the bill.
– Regain control
Despite the intense emotions that can trigger cravings for food, some steps can be implemented to control these impulses. To help end the ingest in an emotional, try these suggestions:
Learn to recognize the true appetite. Is it physical or emotional? If you ate a few hours ago and stomach not protest, probably has no real appetite. Give the craving a few minutes to pass.
Know your triggers appetite. Over the next few days write what they ate, how much it ate, when he did and how he felt on each occasion, and how much hunger felt. Over time can discover some patterns that are repeated and reveal negative eating behaviors and what triggers can be avoided.
Look elsewhere for comfort. Walk, enjoy a movie, listen to music, read or call a friend. If you think that stress associated with some event in particular is leading towards the refrigerator, try to talk to someone about this topic to distract. Plan outings that are entertaining.
Do not be unhealthy foods around. Avoid foods with abundant many calories at home. If you have any appetite or feel sad postponed going to the supermarket for a few hours, so that those sentiments do not influence their decisions at the time of purchase.
The snacks also must be healthy. If one feels the urgency of eating between meals, choose foods without fat and low-calorie, such as fresh fruit. Or try low-calorie versions of their favorite foods to see if they satisfy their craving.
Take a balanced diet, if you’re not getting the calories needed to have sufficient energy. That is more likely than not give in to emotions. Try to eat at reasonably regular schedules. Include basic food groups in your meals. Include whole grains, vegetables, fruits, dairy products descremados and lean sources of protein. If you eat these products is likely to feel more satisfied and longer.
Exercise regularly and rest properly. His mood is more manageable and your body can relieve stress more effectively if he is fit and well rested.
