The Stress Eater Diet

So, is it only women who stress eat?

This is really interesting. I am both a stress eater and, I guess a boredom eater. This would be a good one to pick up.

Whatever on this one.

So true! Most of my diet setbacks are due to emotional eating. I eat after a stressful day because "I deserve it" or mindlessly eat in front of the TV to decompress. Would love to learn how to stop doing this!

Another "diet" book.. jesus. I remember reading a post on here about adapting a healthy eating LIFESTYLE. I couldn't have agreed with it more.

The keyword in that post- life... diets are so short term.

If you truly want to stay healthy forever, adopt a habit with healthy eating choices... diets only last for so long.

My 2 cents.

Ho hum, another diet book that covers the same ideas as though they were new. There is no secret formula, eat less food if you want to lose weight.

I have to agree with Sahil. When people focus on the word diet and not on a way of life, they can end up only managing their weight for the short term. People actually need a long term solution.

The problem is, though, so many people do not actually know how to get there.

In my opinion, people often need to start with a diet so they can jumpstart their metabolism and really get prepared for that long term solution.

With the right diet, someone is going to be able to:
• Get prepared to make lifestyle changes
• Start focusing on their health
• Learn about portion control

Crash dieting is not the answer, but an effective plan is. There are so many people out there that just cannot lose the weight on their own. They should find a diet so they can start to focus on their long term health. They need to understand they can reach out and get help.

Weight loss is so hard for so many people. Some people were lucky enough to be born with the DNA to be thin. Others have to struggle.

I think when people realize they can begin with a diet and end with a long term solution they will begin to feel as if the power is in their hands again. A diet is not a long term solution, but it is a way to get to that long term solution.

When we are stressed/anxious, our brains burn more calories so I don't think eating when stressed is always a bad thing as we need the energy to think.
The trick is to eat the right thing. When I'm working hard, eating something like a piece of toast is great to help me think.
I guess the problem is when people turn to chocolate and then put on weight.

I just discovered your blog and find it really interesting. I'm going through a major break up right now and am overeating and drinking - no doubt a result of stress and sadness. I'm fascinated by the serotonin boosting foods. What are these? I've never heard of that. I'm actually reading a book right now that also talks about stress eating. One thing that struck me was the author said that if you eat while you're stressed, you don't digest your food. This may explain why I feel good while I'm eating, but not afterward. If anyone is interested, you can check this book out at www.lisabuldo.com. But I'm really interested in reading The Stress Eater Diet. Honestly, I welcome anything that will help right now. Thanks for the heads up on this book.

"Stress Eater Diet" is fabulous and directly meets me where I need to be met! Highly recommend this book. Thanks, I'm so glad I got it. Isobelle
