Are You a Food Empath?

Do you overeat when you are emotionally overwhelmed?

Do you turn to sugar, carbs, and junk food to self-soothe discomfort?

Are you highly sensitive to the effect food has on your body?

Do you get mood swings, brain fog, or feel toxic from sugar, caffeine, sodas, or junk food?

Do you have food allergies and intolerances such as to gluten or soy?

Do you feel energized by healthy, clean food?

Are you sensitive to preservatives or gluten in food?

Do you feel more vulnerable to stress when you are thin?

If you are an empathic eater, you will need to pinpoint energetic stressors that trigger overeating such as a draining coworker, an argument with a friend, or feeling rejected. Train yourself to clear the stress as soon as possible to balance your system.

-Do not let your blood sugar drop. It will cause feelings of being stressed and overwhelmed
