Tips to Stress Eating (+ Stress Busting Foods!)

Stress is one of the most common causes of overeating and weight gain. Can you relate? Your day gets busy, life feels overwhelming, and you find yourself (without much thought) inhaling a sugary fatty “treat” because you think it’s going to make you feel better – and it does for about a minute. Maybe you turn to junk food to "boost energy" or to help you deal with your feelings of anxiety, frustration, anger, or sadness. All the while you’re gaining weight and feeling worse instead of better.

Avocado Toast makes a quick breakfast or lunch

For so many people, bread is considered a “bad” food to be avoided at all costs. I hear this from my clients often. Because they have dieted for so long, many people feel like they are “cheating” when they eat bread. It’s time to let go of this unfounded crazy thought and start thinking of bread as the delicious nutritious food that it is. As long as you don’t overdo it (as with anything), bread can be part of your healthy eating plan. Of course this does depend on the type of bread you buy. Here are a few tips to help you select a better loaf of bread.

MINDFUL EATING is not a diet. It’s a conscious way of eating and enjoying food for both good health and pleasure. It uses our internal cues for hunger, appetite, and satiety to guide us in eating.
