Recognizing & Resolving Emotional Eating with Dr. Rentea

In this episode, Dr. Matthea Rentea gives incredible perspective on emotional eating. She highlights the phases of emotional eating/overeating, and they are SPOT ON:Recognizing you've overeaten after the fact.Noticing you're in the process of overeating and telling yourself you shouldn't be doing that (but you keep doing it).Before you eat, you tell yourself not to overeat, but you still do.THIS is the stage where you take a different action due to the progression of awareness you've developed in stages 1–3; you use your tools to keep from overeating.Do you see patients (or yourself!) going through these phases? Many people think they can jump right to the final step, but that's not how it works. It's important to encourage our patients to keep going through all the phases—they'll get to Step 4 in due time.You'll want to listen to the whole episode to get her insight and tools for managing emotional eating.Matthea Rentea, MD, is Board Certified Internist and a Diplomate of the American Board of Obesity Medicine.
