5 Ways to Avoid Stress Eating

5 ways to Avoid Stress Eating

1. Eat enough during the day. If you starve yourself during the day it’s most likely that you will binge at the end of it. Make sure you had substantial meals high in protein, fiber and good fats.

2. Keep ‘’ trigger foods” out of the house. Find out your weakness when it comes to comfort food. If cookies, chocolate, chips and candy bars are a temptation to you, simply don’t purchase it!

3. Don’t mistake thirst for hunger. Try drinking a large glass of water before grabbing a bite to eat. A little hydration goes a long way when it comes to dealing with emotional eating.

4. Eat by the clock. Try to wait at least 20 minutes after you have eaten something. Your brain takes a while to process the food that you have just ingested.

5. Don’t be so hard on yourself. A single slipup won’t completely wreck your meal plan. You should acknowledge that you have fell off the wagon and re-commit your-self to your diet / meal plan.
