Eat to Reduce Stress

Eating to reduce your stress might now be the best way to cope with everyday problems, but provides a temporary relief that some of us need! Some people think stress eating is a bad thing. But if you watch what you eat when you do binge, make sure to choose a healthier snack rather than a delicious chocolate cake to help those cravings.

Steps

 * 1) Now, when you stress eat your going to want to leap for the more healthier foods. (although that can be hard) When you go for the more healthier foods, you have a better chance of gaining less calories.
 * 2) If you decide stress eating isn't your lifestyle, but you stomache/mind really want to scarf down those delicious cosmic brownies. Instead reach for the vegetables or fruits,
 * 3) Another simple way to help yourself with stress eating, when you get that binge feeling coming on. Go find the BIGGEST glass in your house and fill it to the top with water and drink it all. This will make your tummy full and that hungry feeling will go away.
 * 4) Yes when some people drink water on an empty stomache they will get sick, if you get sick when you do drink water on an empty stomache this step is for you! When you get hungry out of stress, just go into your fridge and pull out carrots, green bell peppers, tomatoes any fruit or veggies you have and cut it up and eat that instead.
 * 5) With eating healthy while binge eating you don't have the guilt or bloated feeling. And "like a stated earlier" you don't gain as many calories!

Tips

 * Like I said when you feel a binge coming on go for the healthy stuff not those cosmic brownies.
 * Keep water with you no matter where you go, if you feel that hungry feeling just drink water.
 * Don't drink water on an empty stomach. Not saying binge then drink water, saying have a few baby carrots and then down a glass of water.

Warnings

 * When binge eating, if you choose the unhealthy way of eating, you will probably gain a few extra pounds.
 * Never drink water on an empty tummy.
 * And never starve yourself if you do gain a little extra, just go to the gym one or twice and you will look good in no time.
