Emotional

Personal Trainer Bristol understands that there are many different reasons for indulging in our favourite foods. Biologically we evolved having learned that our survival becomes easier when we obtain a variety of foods rich in sugars and fats. This is apparent when we are feeling stressed, as we instinctively search for those high energy foods that can quickly change our physical and emotional states.

Unfortunately we rarely have the opportunity to respond physically to the causes of our stress and burn off the ‘fight or flight’ hormones that release those sugars into our bloodstreams. A pattern of protracted stress and comfort eating can quickly form a habit as we repeatedly move away from the pain of an anxiety state toward the pleasure of a full stomach.

Once we have identified the cause of your stress our aim is to equip you with an alternative strategy that will allow you to control your calorie intake and also eliminate the need to comfort eat. If this pattern of behaviour feels familiar to you please give Personal Trainer Bristol a call and take the first step toward a new, slimmer and more confident you.
