Manage your cravings

Many people tend to eat when either stressed or depressed. So taking care of these feelings may help prevent you from turning to food for comfort. For example, when stressed some people crave high sugar or high fat foods such as pastries, chocolates, cakes, etc. These foods offer no nutritional value and will make you gain unnecessary weight.

Combat stress

Try engaging in some form of physical activity, if you are generally inactive. You could go for walks regularly, dance, workout at the gym or even take up a sport.

Meditate

Meditation may also help you in alleviating stress. Taking this time out to relax will help keep you calm and you will be less likely to indulge in unhealthy foods.

Seek medical advice

Chat to your doctor or a psychologist if you feel that you may be suffering from either stress or depression.
