Emotional Eating: Stop the Food Noise in the new year

Food noise is real and all consuming. It drives you to the cupboards or the refrigerator at all hours of the day. You don't even know what being hungry feels like anymore because your mind is prompting you to eat to get more energy, eat to feel better, eat because you're bored.

In the new year we want to help you reclaim your thoughts and get back in balance, eating when you are hungry and stopping the food noise.

Food noise leads to overeating, emotional eating, and it takes a toll on your health. One of the worst things we can do for our health is gain weight. In the new year, you have a choice to cut out that food noise and reclaim your health.

If you are looking for support to cut out the food noise, we offer clinically backed solutions that deliver sustainable weight loss results.

A few tips to help quiet the food noise:

• Make sure you are drinking plenty of water. To help you accomplish this make a plan to drink a full glass of water at 8am, 9am, 10am, 11am, 12pm, 1pm, 2pm and 3pm. This gets you 8 full glasses of water and helps to keep you feeling fuller throughout the day. If you miss an hour, just make a point to drink a full glass of water later that day or within the hour.

• Every time you have the urge to go to the cupboard or refrigerator, first find a piece of paper and write down what you are feeling like eating and why. This will help you being to identify the emotional pattern that is triggering you with food noise.

• Before eating anything, check in with your stomach and ask yourself what symptom in your body is telling you to eat or tricking you into thinking you are hungry. If you are truly hungry then great, eat half of what you normally would and save half for later.

These simple tricks will help you gain back control over the food noise. If you need additional support, we have protocols that can help while you are developing new habits. We offer affordable solutions that deliver results!
