Stress Eating vs. Emotional Eating: What is the Difference and Why it Matters


Listen Later

Stop blaming yourself for stress eating. It's not a willpower problem - it's biology.

Your body doesn't care about your diet goals when cortisol is running the show. Stress eating and emotional eating might look the same on the surface, but they require completely different approaches to solve.

In this episode, I'm breaking down:

·       Why your body craves sugar and fat when you're stressed 

·       The difference between stress-induced hunger and emotional eating patterns

·       Why "just stop eating your feelings" is terrible advice that doesn't work

·       Practical tools for managing both types of eating that don't involve more restrictions

The truth? Your eating patterns make perfect sense when you understand what's driving them. This isn't about having more discipline - it's about addressing what's happening in your body and brain.

Perfect for women who are tired of feeling out of control around food, especially during stressful periods. No shame, just solutions.
