What goes through your mind when emotions lead you to the pantry? Do you start taking care of yourself and then give up right away? Do you feel guilty after eating? Do you feel frustrated when you're unable to maintain healthy habits? Did you know that your mood influences your weight and that many diets fail due to poor emotional management? Emotions play a fundamental role in food choices. When food becomes the sole tool for emotional management, far from helping us solve the problem, it creates an additional one. Through an interdisciplinary approach rooted in psychonutrition, these challenges can be addressed holistically, addressing not only dietary issues but also psychological ones. In this way, individuals can learn to identify the underlying causes of their eating behaviors, understand the impact of stress on their eating habits, and recognize the psychological factors that may lead to unhealthy eating patterns. In this book, dietitian-nutritionist Griselda Herrero and psychologist Cristina Andrades present a comprehensive plan based on psychonutrition and provide the keys and tools to begin working on emotions, establish a more positive relationship with food, improve body image, and adopt more balanced and healthy habits, addressing the psychological and dietary factors that lead to the development of unhealthy habits, with the aim of improving them. Because we are so much more than just a person who eats.
