What is emotional eating? Emotional eating can be said to occur when we eat to satisfy a desire other than physical hunger. Emotional eating usually takes place when a person is depressed or angry, stressed or vulnerable.

Controlling your calorie and fat intake requires some thought particularly when you are new to a diet plan, but how do you control the calories when you are dining out?
Your daily calorie allowance should be known to you. If you don’t know what it is then you are shooting in the dark with your healthy eating plan. You can calculate your allowance online but it is far better to ask your doctor and explain your weight loss intentions before you begin any kind of weight loss plan.
