Why emotional eating leads to weight gain
Emotional eating often leads to weight gain as it encourages consuming high-calorie, comfort foods in response to stress rather than hunger. This pattern disrupts the body's natural hunger cues, making mindful eating difficult.
The connection between stress and overeating
Stress often triggers overeating as a coping mechanism, releasing cortisol that increases appetite. Understanding this connection can help individuals develop healthier strategies to manage stress and maintain balanced eating habits.
