How To Stop Emotional Eating

August 26, 2009 by drfitnessandthefatguy

In today’s Wellness Minute Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy share secrets how to stop emotional eating. Stress is a huge trigger when it comes to emotional eating. So the trick is to be aware when you are under stress and instead of reaching for food to make yourself feel better you reach for something else. I know easier said than done. But awareness is the first step to fixing a problem. You will have to reprogram your brain to not connect eating with making relieving stress. You must connect food only with being the fuel you need to live. Food should not be the thing that makes you feel good after a bad day or the thing that you reward yourself with after a success.

The Best Chocolate Cacao On The Planet: SWEET RIOT

August 22, 2009 by drfitnessandthefatguy

I’m very picky when it comes to chocolate. First of all, I only like Dark Chocolate….can’t stand milk chocolate. There is data out there to suggest that chocolate made from 70% cacao(the actual bean chocolate is made from) has antioxidant properties from Theobromine (a vasodilator that expands blood vessels) and the amino acid, Phenylethylamine. That’s good enough for me! I don’t eat tons of chocolate but when I want a sweet snack more than an apple or an orange this is my favorite. I came across this product several years ago and I’m so glad I did. I love the little tins the chocolate is packaged in and only 140 calories per tin, makes it the perfect snack. They make it in 50%, 60%, 70% cacao and trust me there all good, but I totally dig the 50’s. They sell them in variety packs so try them all. They are not sold in tons of stores yet so the best place to get them is online at www.sweetriot.com. I have spotted them at Whole Foods Market and in the cafe at Lifetime Fitness.
