Isabelle Junot’s 4 Keys to ‘Emotional Nutrition’ to Avoid Summer Anxiety

Are you hungry or do you really want to eat something specific? It doesn’t matter as long as you know how to identify the need and answer how to satisfy it without regret. This is because unnecessary restriction can inevitably make you suffer from anxiety and as a result almost always translates into binge eating. Eating too much without need is not good, not only because it contributes to weight gain, but because, generally, what you want would not be considered a healthy diet.

This is explained very well by Isabelle Junot, who in addition to being interested in Cuban marchioness and cooking The Binge Eating Coach. Yes, one the coach emotional eating Which helps you have a healthy relationship with food It encourages you to enjoy the things you love most every day without losing control to avoid overeating or feeling guilty.

Moreover, now that we are in the middle of summer and we want to look our best version, avoiding these emotions is needed more than ever. To do this, the Marchioness of Cuba shares with all her followers four keys that she has carried out herself to understand why they happen and how we can control them:

1. You only eat the foods you restrict When they are no longer taboo, they lose importance, you eat them naturally and the cravings disappear.
2. The more you restrict, the harder it will be. The more you obsess over these foods, the more out of control you feel when eating them.
3. Cheat meals are simply planned binges. If you no longer have forbidden foods, you no longer have to cheat (they become like other foods on a mental level, you incorporate them into peace).
4. The more you inhibit, the greater the feeling of reward And you will also believe that you should restrict (eg you mistake the feeling of intense reward for an addiction to that food).

You need to understand that not binging is not the same as restricting what you want to eat, because that is what drives you to it and also, to eating a food. Have a very low mood or bad mood. So, how to achieve this effectively? Follow Junot’s advice: “Stop fighting your hunger. Eat your hunger and fuel your body. Simplify your life.”

That is, you must learn to change your relationship with food and change your life and this summer, as he advises, “take the opportunity to eliminate the forced diet and limit Mondays by eating when you really feel it.” The key to everything? “You know how to recognize when you’re hungry without actually being hungry,” says Isabelle Junot.
