Cravings?

The famous “Pavlov’s dogs” were conditioned to eat at sound of a bell, and we human are much same when it comes to habitual cravings. If you wonder why you always feel like a chocolate when you sit down to watch a movie, or you have to have a box of popcorn….think again. You are not necessarily craving these foods because you are hungry, but rather consider force of habit. During time when you have a craving, try to ask yourself whether you are really hungry or not. If you are hungry, reach for a low fat snack rather than a chocolate bar or bag of crisps.

Indulging?

Emotions and hormones can trigger certain cravings, for example, if you are feeling low, chocolate and carbohydrates assist production of serotonin in your brain. Serotonin helps you feel happier. This is why we might crave sweet or starchy foods during times of sadness or stress.

If you identify with any of above factors, you could be on your way towards discovering what is triggering you to overeat.
