I am sure that I am not the only one who feel like eating those sweet stuff when I am stressed.
When life gets tough or when I am being pressured I can't help myself but to grab those high carbohydrates food and put it in my mouth.
And it's like that I am transfering my stress to my waist !
Worse of all, it get worse at night before I go to bed. Studies showed that when we are stressed we tend to reach into something that feels comforting. Sad to say, but chocolate and ice cream are what we considered comforting.
Carbohydrates can stimulate powerful release of pleasure-producing hormones in your body.
To avoid taking those chocolates and cakes, I prefer we make a substitute for them.
Tomato soup
Tomato soup is believed to have calming effects, especially if consumed at night.
Prepare sandwich with a little ham and cheese
Instead of taking cookies, bring sandwiches in your bag so that you can always have a choice not to take the cookies but take the sandwiches instead.

Sweet grain cereals
