Emotional Eating1 min read

We eat mindlessly and not with our stomach. When you are angry, upset or stressed, there is nothing better than a good burger or a cheesy pizza or a bowl of Ramen noodles.
Are you hungry and you eat breakfast or is it because it is breakfast time and you have to eat? Do you rush through your lunch, not knowing what you ate just an hour from lunch? Dinner time and you want to ‘eat’ well because you think you earned it? You emotionally eat the food you love, which is often full of the wrong carbs and fat.
Eating slowly is a good way to be in control of what you eat. Keeping half an hour and more for each meal and chewing slowly helps. You taste the food, your brains and stomach connect with the food. It tells you when it is full. It digests and assimilates better. You will consciously choose the food you want. Believe me, your stomach knows and the mindful eating helps you listen to your stomach.
