Anti stress and weight gain plan

Improving diet and lifestyle can be a valuable help in minimizing stress and weight gain provided that you avoid excesses. Here are a few tips:

• Take the time to eat nutritious meals and choose foods that you like;

• Treat yourself to a fine restaurant from time to time;

• Improve your lifestyle: eat a balanced diet and get a full night’s sleep;

• Avoid unhealthy snacking;

• Eat carbohydrates (pasta, rice, starchy food, vegetables and fruit). Food studies point to insufficient intake of complex sugars;

• Limit your consumption of stimulating beverages such as coffee, tea and cooldrinks;

• Don’t drink your anxieties away. Alcohol is often used to ease anxiety. One or two drinks and you forget everything but your anxieties will soon resurface, only to be soothed with larger amounts of alcohol, which obviously doesn’t solve anything but adds on the calories; 

• Exercise, go out, walk or run. Physical activity has been proven to build up resistance to stress and burns calories at the same time.

The key is to limit your intake of food in general when stress strikes, as it’s at these times when your urges and compensation needs often defeat all reason!
