Diet Tip | AVOID TRIGGER EATING

A large proportion of the cravings we have are a habit-like response to a variety of triggers.

These can be external, such as the sight or smell of food, or internal and emotion-led, such as a response to stress, anger, boredom or emptiness.

A food diary helps you recognise this ‘trigger’ or ‘non-hungry eating' which in turn places you in a better position to deal with it. It helps you to make a conscious note as to what you are eating and why you are eating it.

In addition, plan ways to avoid triggers in the first place.  For example, keep ‘binge’ foods out of the house or join an evening class to keep you away from the TV, crisps and bottle of vino!
