Understand your hunger.
1. Your heart is hungry
Recognizable for emotion eaters. You eat to celebrate, because you are sad or because you had a rough day.
What can you do about it?
Ask yourself if you eat as a reward. Try to get out of the pattern by rewarding yourself in other ways. Ways that don't contain food. If emotional eating starts to become a serious problem, you can seek help.
2. Your head is hungry
You eat lunch every day at 13.00 and a snack at 16.00. You don't wonder if you're hungry, you just eat by the clock.
What can you do about it?
If it works for you, it's fine. Still, it might be interesting to let go of the clock and eat when your body tells you to eat.
3. You eat out of habit
When you watch Netflix, you usually take something delicious with it.
What can you do about it?
Beginning to recognize your patterns is the first step to breaking them. Replace your unhealthy snacks with something healthy more often.
