Emotional Eating

The basic reason of eating food was to provide fuel to the body. But with time human nature has been changed about food. Now most of the people eat not just to provide energy or fuel to the body but to enjoy the taste and aroma of food. People have developed lots of ways to consume varieties of foods. Now, what we eat reelects our thought, nature and emotions. This develop a pattern in your eating which we call is Emotional Eating. Some people eat only when they eel hungry, some eat when they are sad, or happy or angry or bored, hurt, nervous or depress, or some eat just because it is in their routine.

There is a hormone called Leptin. It is released to lower the appetite. Leptin is made up of fat cells and hence thin individuals (low fat levels in body) have low leptin levels.         

The other hormone called Ghrelin, which is released when we are stressed and makes us excessively hungry. Because we are so much stressed most of the time in this era, we gorge on food all the time. Even when we are not needing it and hence making people obese. Of course the choices of food are surely not going to be fruits and salads, but junk food, high-calorie, sweet, salty and fatty foods. Foods rich in sugar which produce happy feelings, which raise your blood sugar levels quickly, giving you an energy rush. For emotional eaters, food is the best friend to boost spirits, calm stress and alleviate boredom. Following are some tips to overcome from this situation.

  1. Learn to recognize true hunger: A craving for chips or cookies soon after a meal is more likely to be emotional hunger, not real hunger.
  2. Identify the food triggers: Keeping a journal can help identify patterns in emotional eating, including emotions and feelings when eating; what and how much was eaten; and feelings after eating.
  3. Look elsewhere for comfort: Instead of grabbing a candy bar, take a walk, call a friend, listen to music, read
  4. Manage stress in a healthy way: The goal is to lower stress with healthy strategies, including regular exercise, adequate rest and support from friends and family.
  5. Practice mindful eating: Mindfulness is a way of paying focused attention without judgment. Applied to eating, this technique can help increase awareness of the sensations, feelings and thoughts connected with food and eating.
  6. Toss out the unhealthy foods: Avoid stocking the cupboard or refrigerator with high-calorie comfort foods. Consider more healthful comfort foods: a bowl of tomato soup or a cup of tea.
  7. Eat a balanced diet and healthy snacks: Between meals, opt for low-fat, low- calorie snacks such as fresh fruit and unbuttered popcorn.
