It’s amazing how we turn to food for all sorts of reasons, boredom, stress, anxiety, feeling down, are the obvious ones but everyone has different reasons and at different times. The most important thing is to start noticing when and why you start picking or binging. Once you can identify the cause of your behaviour you can start to change it.

Carbohydrates! Who knew carbs would become such an emotive subject. If you read last months blog you’ll remember that all carbs turn to sugar however this does not make them “bad”. Our bodies need carbs for energy, and without them we can feel lethargic and tired. Carbs also stimulate serotonin production – our happy hormone and can be full of lovely fibre which helps out our bowels to work and makes us feel full.
