Ever find yourself reaching for food even when your body has had enough? You’re not alone!

It often has to do with our state of mind. Psychological distress can cause energy-dense food choices, a.k.a., comfort food.

Emotional eating, driven by stress or emotional needs rather than hunger, often results in guilt, more stress, and a cycle of overeating.

But wait, there’s more! Hedonistic eating, driven by pleasure rather than hunger, can disrupt the brain’s reward mechanisms and contribute to overindulgence.

Instead, practice mindful eating, eat when hungry, avoid hyper-palatable processed foods, choose modest portions of nutritious foods, slowly chew each bite, and seek out healthier ways to manage emotions without food.
