If after lunch, eat chips, chocolate or some cake, you must read this article!
Hunger does not always mean that we are hungry, this need once a far greater cause ...
We all happened after lunch continue to overeat and eat even a big bag of chips, a box of cookies or an entire chocolate.
I do not have to be Freud to figure out that such attacks can not have much to do with the actual, physical hunger and to our body then arises craving for some other kind of food - that emotional.
Dr. Dorin Virtju, psychologist and clinical therapist for eating disorders, in his book "The craving for food 'claims that emotional overeating to blame for obesity each, every turn of the way of a balanced diet and any disease related to diet.
This joins a growing number of scientists and therapists who have been warning that the problem with overweight and unhealthy eating is not just a physical hunger, but goes deeper into the psyche and can not be solved by counting calories, even promoting healthy eating.
See what are the characteristics of emotional eating:
It occurs suddenly - Physical hunger comes on gradually, signals the stomach Emotional hunger comes on suddenly as a "raid".
Focused on specific foods - We need to eat just a particular type of food, and no replacements are not satisfied.
It happens "over the door" - begins in the mouth and mind. Mouth wanting to taste a pizza or a donut with chocolate. Intensely think about the desired food.
It covers automatic or absent consummation - As if someone else grabs the hand cream and put it into your mouth (automatic eating) either do not notice that you had a whole bag of cookies (distracted eating).
It is impossible to dispose of it - Emotional hunger for food immediately to alleviate unpleasant emotions as soon as possible. It is associated with disturbing emotions. The boss is yelling at you. Your son has a problem. Emotional hunger comes in a disturbing situation.
Does not subside even when you're full - because we eat so that we numb unpleasant feelings, and not to feed the body, it often ends up overeating.
Encourages the guilt - The paradox of emotional overeating is in what you eat to make you feel better, then you can criticize because you ate cookies, brownies ... Objećavate yourself you'll make it up ("The Gymnast, Holder diet, preskakaću meals and so on - tomorrow") .
