As a registered dietitian I take an anti-diet approach to support my clients. Growing up as a "picky eater", I was always told how to eat and how much to eat. As I got older, I grew an interest for food and nutrition which led me to become a registered dietitian. Now I support individuals in creating sustainable dietary changes based on their preferences, dietary restrictions and medical history. I believe that embracing cultural foods, enjoying all foods and meeting your nutrition needs can all be done in sync. I specialize in pediatrics, women's health and family nutrition.

Emotional Eating Nutritionists and Dietitians

What is emotional eating?

Emotional eating refers to using food as a coping mechanism to deal with life stressors. It often involves overeating or consuming high-calorie foods to mask underlying emotions such as sadness, stress, or grief. Common triggers include work-related stress, family or relational challenges, and major life changes. Emotional eating can negatively impact health due to increased consumption of food when the body is not physically hungry. This behaviour can also lead to additional emotional distress, causing feelings of shame and a lack of control and, in some cases, can escalate into an eating disorder, such as binge eating disorder.

How do I stop emotional eating?

The most effective way to sustainably stop emotional eating is by addressing the underlying stressors that drive this behaviour. Individuals with a history of emotional eating might feel inclined to cut calories following episodes of overeating. However, maintaining adequate food intake throughout the day can help prevent emotional eating, which often occurs at night and can be worsened by genuine hunger after periods of restriction. In addition to ensuring proper nutrition, behavioural interventions can be highly beneficial. Techniques such as distraction and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) exercises can help individuals manage and reduce unwanted emotional eating behaviours.

How does emotional eating impact nutrition?

When individuals emotionally eat, they often turn to highly palatable, high-calorie foods, commonly known as "comfort foods," which provide temporary relief from stress. These foods are typically high in sugar and fat, and their regular consumption can negatively affect diet quality and lead to health issues, such as excessive weight gain. Moreover, the high stress levels that contribute to emotional eating can also lead to other unhealthy lifestyle behaviours, such as lack of exercise or excessive alcohol consumption, further compromising overall health and the ability to maintain a healthy lifestyle.

How can a dietitian help someone with emotional eating?

Dietitians can play a crucial role in helping individuals who struggle with emotional eating. They can help clients identify patterns in their behaviour, such as specific triggers and times when they are most likely to engage in emotional eating. By helping clients understand these patterns, dietitians can develop personalised strategies for clients to reduce their urge to eat in response to emotions. For example, they can create structured meal plans that promote regular eating habits and provide balanced nutrition. In addition, dietitians can collaborate with therapists to address the underlying emotional and psychological factors contributing to emotional eating. This holistic approach ensures that both the mental health and nutritional aspects of the issue are addressed simultaneously.
