If you find yourself snacking frequently or in portions that resemble a calorie amount closer to a meal, it’s likely not a willpower thing!
✅in with these common causes! And once you identify the reason, finding a solution is next.
👉Too few calories: less is NOT always more. Going into too low of a calorie deficit makes diet changes harder stick to. Timing matters, too.
👉Dieting often leads to needing a “reward” food day, or using exercise as a bank account builds up this idea that we “earn” food.
👉Carbies are the bodies preferred source of energy. Cutting ‘em too low can often lead to a preoccupation of carbie foods.
👉Sometimes snacking is a habit. Replace a snacking habit with something else if you’re not actually hungry. Or try planning a nourishing, intentional snack instead.
👉We all cope with stress & hard emotions differently; food can often provide comfort for various reasons. Break this habit by talking with someone or address root causes of stress & manage with healthier coping methods like physical activity, journaling or prayer.
