You may be wondering how come that whenever you are overcome
with
incredible stress, you want to reach for something
to shove into your mouth
and engage in stress eating? Of course the best time to eat is only when
you are hungry,
but none of us are perfect.
You've probably noticed already that a lot of times when you are stressed,
you feel like eating something crunchy.
The first thing that comes to your mind is chips ( or chocolate ).
However, there is a healthy alternative - raw vegetables.
Carrots or celery can satisfy the need for crunching as well or better than
chips, and actually provide nutritional value.
A few properly prepared nuts can also do the trick if craving something
crunchy and you will certainly be providing your body with more nutrients
by choosing something other than chips as a snack.
It helps if you plan ahead. Make sure you will have some crunchy veggies
within reach when the crunch attack sets in.
Keep the veggies in your drawer at work. If you're going to be running errands
in your car for a couple of hours, make sure you take some healthy snacks.
If you have a healthy snack within reach, you will be less likely to buy
junk food from the nearest vending machine or drive-thru window.
