Emotional eating is not exactly a eating process when you are really hungry to satisfy hunger but sometimes we turn to food for nourishment, comfort, stress relief, entertainment, distraction, escape or reward. Unfortunately it doesn’t resolve emotional problems and generally makes you feel worse.

Emotional eating is worse because you often eat high-carbohydrates, high-calorie foods with low nutritional value such as ice cream, cookies, chocolates, chips, pizzas, burgers etc to bring down your emotions. Another key factor is the quantity of food that is consumed is the primary difference between emotional eating and binge eating. There are various warning signs for emotional eating.

Studies have shown that about 40% of people tend to eat more when stressed while other 40% eat less and remaining 20% have no change in the amount of food they eat while undergoing stress. The real problem behind emotional eating or binge eating is when food is used as a tool to hide your life issues and emotional feelings thus becoming an addiction.
