Cravings and emotional eating

Behind the physiological reasons for our food cravings, they are often related to our emotions and desires. Food cravings can help us satisfy our emotional needs in times of stress, and although can make us feel good in the short term, can lead to us feeling sluggish or worse off long term. 

 

We all crave different things depending on our unique biology, but it is common for us to crave foods high in sugar, salt or heavily processed foods. Research has shown that typically men tend to crave savoury foods, whereas women have more of a tendency to crave higher fat, sweet foods. 

 

Craving and emotional eating is highly related to the way we think, and creates the link between our thoughts and external factors. Through my health coaching services, we will take a deep look into your thoughts, beliefs and behaviours surrounding emotional eating and cravings, unpicking the causes and getting to the root of these habits. 

 

Together, through my evaluative assessments and deep listening techniques, I will help you develop and implement healthier habits. Through my health coaching sessions, you will develop a positive mindset toward eating that will allow you to reframe your thoughts around cravings.
