Do you often find yourself eating between meals, even when you're not hungry? Do you turn to food when you're stressed, bored, or sad? You might be dealing with what's known as "emotional hunger."
This eating behavior is very common and often underestimated. Unlike physiological hunger, which arises from a real need of the body, emotional hunger is triggered by emotions.
People tend to choose high-calorie, sweet, or salty foods in large quantities and with a feeling of loss of control. In my work, I pay great attention to the study of eating behavior, because knowing your habits is the first step to improving them.
Through the analysis of the food diary and in-depth interviews, we help the patient recognize their emotional triggers. With the right support, it is possible to learn to manage emotional hunger, improve the relationship with food, and regain balance and serenity.
Nutrition is not just what we eat, but also how and why we do it.
