Tips for Maintaining a Healthy Relationship With Food While Stuck at Home

Snacking isn’t a bad thing, as long as you’re reaching for the good stuff.  I talked to Real Simple in for this piece about how to snack healthier while we’re stuck at home:

“I would recommend taking the time to sit away from screens while eating the snack and minimizing eating while walking or while engaged in another activity,” Feller says. That’s right, sit down and take a breather while enjoying your food. That way, snack time becomes a small luxury in itself, associated with positive feelings; as well as a moment to check in with your mood and appetite. Sometimes we don’t realize we’re stress eating because we’re reading the news, or have already gotten full without noticing because we’re buried in emails. Take a pause and give your snack (or meal) its own mindful attention.
