You Are WHY You Eat


Here is a great video to help us understand WHY we eat.

I love her idea of the Apple and FLAB test!

Are you hungry? If an Apple doesn't do it, then go to the FLAB test. If an apple (or your favorite fruit) won't satisfy you then are you feeling.....

Frustrated
Lonely
Angry
Bored

These are the four main reasons people eat when we are not really hungry. And if we are feeling these things, then we need to find another way, not food, to acknowledge, feel and work with these feelings in a more productive way. Food isn't the answer.

Good advice from from Dr. Ramani Durvasula
