Fat 2 Fit Show #19 - Emotional Eating

Food Fight!Emotional Eating - we all do it. We eat when we are happy at weddings, we eat when we are excited at sporting events, and we even eat when we are sad at funerals. Most of us have learned to associate any emotional feelings with eating. The problem with keeping our weight down is that in our society we are always eating for many more reasons that hunger.

We discuss some of the major causes of emotional eating, the common triggers and give some suggestions and alternatives to emotional eating.

In our E-mail and comments section, we answer an email from Shon about splitting up workouts, a question about the reason why your body will digest its own muscle if you don’t eat enough calories, and a question from Josh about late night snacking.

Jeff’s news items dealt with a study that found that the richer a man is the more he weighs, but for women, it is the opposite. His second article was ten weight loss tips from little kids - invaluable common sense from kids about weight loss. Russ found a good music podcast that will match the “couch to 5k” running program and a no-brainer way to cut calories.

  2. Hey, guys! Wanted to thank you for mentioning the new Podrunner: Intervals podcast on the show, and to let you know that the reason we went with tones to indicate the change in BPM was because we have listeners around the world, and we felt it would be a bit chauvinistic to give instructions in English when clearly escalating and descending tones would do the job just as well.

    Thanks again!
