Stop eating your emotions!

Do you find yourself gorging yourself on sweets, fast food and snacks when you're stressed, without even being hungry? Eating out of frustration, as a comfort or as a reward always leads to a guilty conscience, often to obesity and, not infrequently, to uncontrollable binge eating, which can develop into serious eating disorders.

Nutritionist Dr. Isabelle Huot and psychologist Dr. Catherine Senécal examine the connection between food and emotions: negative feelings, self-imposed constraints and a poor body image are triggers for eating behavior that does not serve to satisfy one's hunger but rather to cope with fears.

Learn simple strategies and exercises to (re)establish a natural, positive relationship with your body and nutrition. This will help you break the cycle of cravings and binge eating and regain enjoyment and pleasure in eating!

When the soul is hungry: emotions and eating behavior
Making peace with food: changing eating habits, mastering “threats”
Learning to love your own body: approaches to a new, positive attitude
Intuitive and mindful nutrition: Helpful tips and suggestions (e.g. 3-3-3 rule)

Reviews

"In their book (...), which is already a bestseller in French-speaking Canada, nutritionist Dr. Isabelle Huot and psychologist Dr. Catherine Senécal examine the connections between food and emotions. Many people, especially women, do not eat to feel full, but to cope with frustration and fear. In eight chapters, the two show that healthy eating and other things make it possible to break the cycle of cravings and binge eating. Those who manage to make this breakthrough can eat with pleasure and enjoyment again without feeling guilty. (...) The two experts wanted to write a practical book that offers concrete help and contains tips that can be used in everyday life."
The Diaconal Sister, Issue 6, November/December 2020

"The guide contains many examples, practical tips, exercises and a short summary at the end of each chapter. One deals with how to manage emotions and change your way of thinking. Myths are also examined, such as whether you can control emotions. The answer: you can't. It's refreshing that the authors do this without pointing the finger at anyone."
Southwest Press, 20.12.2020

"... practical help that looks at cravings from many different angles. Highly recommended!"
Ricarda Ohligschläger,www.herzgedanke.de

"The book's relaxed layout invites you to approach the important and, for many, stressful subject area, such as the love-hate relationship with food, without fear. Just as relatively small bites, ideally six meals a day, can be quite useful, the new knowledge is also conveyed in many easily digestible sections."For the full article...

Additional info

Important background information

It is not easy to understand and correctly classify eating disorders and their causes. A few facts will help!

♦Losing control from time to time and continuing to eat even when you are full is not alarming. However, if it happens repeatedly and is causing distress, you should seek help.

♦It is important to understand that our eating habits are influenced by various factors. These include emotions, genetic predisposition or our current life situation.

♦The feelings that are directly linked to food play a central role. You can learn to deal with them and change your way of thinking.

♦Body image is subjective: thoughts are sometimes based on false beliefs, which distort the perception of situations and of oneself. It is possible to question these automatisms and replace them with alternative thoughts that are more rational and constructive.

♦Mindful, conscious eating is a comprehensive sensory experience that helps improve your relationship with food and food intake in general.

♦If you want to change your eating habits, it is a must to pay attention to your feelings of hunger and satiety and not to compulsively “eat your plate empty”.

♦In order to achieve a relaxed approach to food, it is beneficial to adapt your lifestyle habits. Lack of sleep and exercise as well as stress have a huge impact on our eating habits.
