173: Why We Stress Eat, And What to do About it.

In this episode of Lose Your Cravings, we explore why stress eating happens—not just from a place of habit, but from the powerful biological and emotional forces at play. You’ll learn how stress affects your brain and body, why food becomes a go-to comfort, and how this cycle can be gently interrupted without shame or restriction. We even reframe stress itself—because not all stress is bad, and understanding the difference can help you respond with more self-trust and less guilt. With real-life examples and five practical steps rooted in cognitive behavioral coaching, this episode offers a non-diet, compassionate approach to reducing stress eating and feeling more in control around food.Become a sponsor of the Lose Your Cravings Podcast here!patreon.com/loseyourcravingsGet my FREE Guide: Break Free From Nighttime EatingWant to dive deeper into ending your cravings and overeating once and for all? → Book a call with me! Keysa Amaro helps women manage their emotional eating and cravings without deprivation or complicated meal plans so they can show up fully in their life and career.
