"We are programmed to eat for emotional reasons. From the moment you are born and your mother approaches you to feed you, there is an emotional connection with food and being loved. That's why it's counterproductive to tell people: 'Just do not do it.' "

may explains that we can console ourselves with food and stay slim with these practical and effective tips:

1. Eat emotionally only what you love . Before you devour the whole chocolate box, May recommends that you do 'The test of the four': "Ask yourself if you really want it. That will keep you from taking anything that is in front of you. If you take something that you do not really want, there is a better chance that you will eat more, because it did not satisfy you "

2. Enjoy it to the fullest and give your time . Get away from the computer, the television or iPad, so you can focus completely on the whim you want to consume. This is the reason: "If you do not take a moment to enjoy it to the fullest, then it will not serve you for the real reason you are eating and you will be more likely to give in to other high-calorie foods and eat more of them", explains May

3. Do not consume anything on an empty stomach . "If you had a balanced meal with healthy proteins, vegetables and fats, your dessert has a better chance of being satisfactory," says Julia Ross, director of the Clinic Recovery System in Mill Valley, California and author of The diet cure (The cure of the diet):

"However, many women skip meals to save calories and go straight to dessert, so their sugar rises, then falls precipitously and they end up eating a second or third dessert. With the passage of time, they are not saving calories, "reiterates Ross

4. Forget about guilt . "No one should feel guilty if they use food to celebrate or feel relief," May revealed. Health.com

According to the nutrition specialist, everything comes down to the fact that when you eat to feel good, you must allow yourself to be at peace and happy: "Do not blame yourself and continue with your daily life".
