Why Are we Overeating?
Why Are we Overeating?
The basis of compulsive eating is emotional and people really need to learn to listen to their hungers. It’s important for them to eat when they’re hungry, to stop when they’ve had enough, and to deal with the emotional conflicts they express by eating.
Although most of us are afraid that if we don’t have a step-by-step program to tell us what, when, and how much to eat, we will never make any changes, the most important element in change is self-trust. The willingness to listen to the voice that wants to care for us, not destroy us.
If you have been following programs that tell you what and how much to eat, it may be overwhelming to be told that if you listen to your body, it will guide you in making healthy choices. The Eating Guidelines are just that — guidelines, not rules with which to punish yourself — they are suggestions that can be useful when making a commitment to be conscious when you eat.
Eating Guidelines
- Eat when you are hungry.
- Eat sitting down in a calm environment. This does not include the car.
- Eat without distractions. Distractions include radio, television, newspapers, books, intense or anxiety-producing conversations, and music.
- Eat only what you want.
- Eat until you are satisfied.
- Eat (with the intention of being) in full view of others.
- Eat with enjoyment, pleasure, and gusto.
Beating Stress With Nutrition
Beating Stress With Nutrition
For most of us, stress and food go hand-in-hand. Food can give us the feelings of power, control and satisfaction that we need in stressful situations. It’s no surprise that when our stress levels go up our resistance to ‘comfort’ foods goes down.
This isn’t always a bad thing — our favorite foods actually can reduce our stress levels. But moderation is key.
Giving your body the nutrition it needs is a positive step you can take every day toward combating stress. With the correct nutrition, you are better prepared to face the challenges of the day.
Adrenaline is produced during times of intense stress. That gives you a burst of energy, but your blood-sugar level drops after the crisis is past. Sustaining food is needed to replenish it. Certain foods increase the physical stress on your body by making digestion more difficult, or by denying the brain essential nutrients. Stress itself can cause bad digestion. Drinks can have just as great an effect — caffeine and alcohol both put a considerable strain on the body.
With a sensible diet it’s possible to reduce the effects of stress, avoid some common problems, and protect your health.
