How to beat emotional eating

Frédéric Patenaude, the "no-none sense" raw-food-coach, has some helpful tips for individuals having challenges with emotional eating. Frédéric first suggestion is that one understand the difference between true forms of hunger and false forms of hunger:

Signs of True Hunger

• The stomach “aspirates”
• The mouth salivates
• The mind is optimistic, clear, and happy
• A pleasant sensation in the throat
• Hunger persists when we wait

Signs of False Hunger

• Dry mouth, coated tongue, bad breath
• Headaches
• Rumblings in the stomach
• The mind is spacey, unclear, the spirit pessimistic
• Stomach cramps and pains, nausea
• Hunger disappears when we wait.
