Several people report eating in response to thoughts and emotions as loneliness. The study also showed that many of those who have successfully lost their weight (and who reported emotional eating) were more likely to regain weight. It is quite important because one of the biggest challenges in the management of overweight and obesity treatment remains the problem of weight gain after weight loss. Participants in behavioral weight loss programs usually lose on average around 10% of their body weight, which carries significant health benefits. Unfortunately most of the participants returned to their baseline weight within three to five years.
Because most of us are brought up eating junk food, it is not easy to change our eating habits. Eating habits have developed since childhood based on what your mothers or fathers cooked and what your psychological make-up was during that time. The foods you eat and crave help keep past trauma and present anxiety in check. Food helps make you feel good when you start to feel bad. Eating is a natural defense mechanism that the brain the body uses to keep you from going berserk.
So you see, it is very difficult to change our eating habits. When we do, we begin to feel ill. We begin to feel uncomfortable, we feel pain, we have withdrawal symptoms and we may feel sick. Is it something that any of us ever succeed in changing our eating habits to more healthy eating habits? I think everything has been packed with junk food. There are a few exception and you need to read ingredient labels carefully. Very few food manufacturers and even restaurants prepare food with your health in mind. Of course, they want to satisfy you, but they do not use food that is in your best interest.
Most people eat junk food 85% of the time and then eating good food the other 15%. It should be the reverse of this - eat good food 85% and junk food 15% of the time.
