Avoid snacking
Do you reach for fatty, sugary food at the slightest setback? Does controlling your weight sometimes make you anxious and want to snack? As a result, the pounds pile on. Too much worry often causes food impulses which can be managed!
THE NEED TO COMPENSATE
Constantly watching your weight or crash dieting are a real challenge for many of us. Having low morale can often lead to an uncontrollable urge to snack. What starts with a little piece of chocolate, can quickly become the whole bar! When we consume sugar, the level of serotonin in the brain increases, soothes and regulates our moods and gives us a sense of well-being. However, this is followed by a terrible feeling of guilt for having given in and seeing the extra pounds pile up on the scale.
STRATEGY FOR CONTROLLING URGES
When we compensate with food, we bury our emotions rather than face them. The solution: adopting a healthy lifestyle and letting your feelings out. How? By practicing meditation, for example, and by finding other ways to soothe anxiety and alleviate stress, such as sports, leisure activities, a well-balanced diet, etc. And then if you occasionally give into temptation, not being too hard on yourself.
