Food to Boost Moods and Energy

We all know that our diet can affect numerous aspects of our lives, especially during medical weight loss. But what we eat can also take a toll on our moods and energy levels.

Gaining Control of Emotional Eating

One of the most difficult obstacles a person might face when trying to lose weight is emotional eating. Emotional eating is eating for any reason other than hunger—i.e. boredom, stress, sadness. Letting your emotions affect your eating habits can be detrimental to your weight loss efforts. The relief you get from emotional eating rarely lasts long and may even turn into guilt. Discovering the differences between physical and emotional hunger can help you control your emotional eating.

Focus on Mind and Body Fitness

Most people know that the mind and body affect each other. When your body is physically ill, your mind reacts by shifting your mood. You may feel depressed or irritable because you don't physically feel well. In the same way, if your mind is "ill" or you're in a bad mood or depressed, your body may react by giving you physical problems—a headache or backache perhaps. This often happens to alert you that something is wrong and to help you get your mind and body back in a healthy balance. Your weight loss doctor can provide you with insight about beneficial ways to lose weight as you focus on mind and body wellness.
