The topic this month was "Why We Overeat?"
A few of the reasons we overeat are steeped misinformation and myth, but there are many with theories with scientific data to back it up. Some of the myths and truths include:
- Emotional eating, which could include feeling like there is no hope or giving up.
- Foods affecting neurotransmitters in the brain including sensory cues like vision, smell and taste.
- Personal and family history and traditions.
- The ability to get food 24/7.
- Making our life "chaotic" through various commitments.
- Even the theory that the food and restaurant industry are manipulating fat, sugar, and salt content.
However, this is a very small list of reasons. Solutions to combat why we over eat include:
- Learning fact from myth.
- Creating structure in your life.
- Practice eating right by picking foods that satisfy not stimulate.
- Anticipate events in your life and seize control.
- Stop destructive thoughts as they happen not afterwards.
- Listen to yourself!
