Do you find yourself eating when you’re feeling sad, sleep-deprived, or stressed? In this week’s video, you’ll learn how to cure emotional eating with a plant-based diet.

Chef, culinary instructor, and author, Chef AJ, shares practical tips to change your eating habits for good. And you’ll hear how to get back on track if you slip up.

Here are some tips from Chef AJ:
1. Change what you’re eating when you’re emotional - eating whole food, plant-based things like kale or brussel sprouts will still stimulate the dopamine that we get when we eat.
2. Change your environment - don’t keep unhealthy, addictive, high-sugar, fatty foods around. If they’re not in your house, you’re less likely to eat them.
3. Figure out why you’re emotionally eating. You might be eating late at night when you should be going to bed. Or instead of eating when stressed, you might need to take a walk outside.

And remember, a slip up doesn’t define you. You can start over with your very next bite of food!

In the comments, let us know what has or hasn’t worked for you when trying to stave off emotional eating.
