Wonder why you can’t stop snacking?
Feeling guilty for eating snacks you wish you hadn’t?
It’s not just you.

Anyway… back to why you can’t stop snacking.
Want to know the first step to eating better?
Understand why you snack.
When you know the reason you eat that Twix, chocolate-covered Hobnobs, or salt and vinegar crisps, being healthier gets 10x easier.
Here’s how snacking works in 3 steps:
Step #1
You crave a change in your emotional state — a relief from feeling unsure, stressed, overwhelmed or low.
Step #2
You do something to change your energy — like make yourself a coffee and have a Snickers.
Step #3
You feel better — as you get a brief sense of relief, peace, control or motivation.
How does knowing this help you stop snacking?
It gives you a simple, research-backed approach to change:
Don’t stop your negative habit. It won’t satisfy your craving.
Replace it with a healthy habit instead. And satisfy your craving guilt-free!
So next time you’re having a coffee, why not replace chocolate with a handful of nuts or oatcakes?
Another option? Enjoy your coffee outside for a few minutes. Or, while it cools, do some stretching before starting work again.
Whatever new habit you choose, it’ll satisfy your craving just like your old one. But rather than feel annoyed after, you’ll feel in control — and proud for being the person you want to be.
