Boredom Eating

Now that we have covered the two main body systems that influence food intake, let us take that foundation of knowledge and dial in to each emotional that can lead us to eating outside of physical hunger.

When I sent a survey to my members asking what emotion most commonly caused them to eat outside of hunger, the number one answer was boredom.

As I dug into the why behind it, I was blown away! Sure, we eat out of boredom because it’s something to do but it turns out there is even more science behind why that is the case!
