This talks about why junk food is so compelling to us. It’s like an addiction because junk food acts on the body and brain in certain ways. This gives more information on that. It’ll make you think differently about stuffing your face with those chips or cookies. It’s really bad for you. Making healthier eating choices will help you to feel so much better.
Key Takeaways:
- Whatever your choice of snack food is, chances are you know you would be better off without the extra fat, sugars and calories
- When food is available, we will eat it. Forget willpower the mere presence of food means we are highly likely to eat it
- It appears that seeing others eat, whether you are hungry or not, immediately gives us permission to eat too.
“the only way to control emotional overeating is to identify when we are feeling sad or down and learn to self soothe in other ways, or if you must eat, choose portion controlled treats.”
