* She eats her emotions: she lets her emotions (whether positive or negative) overwhelm him. She eats when she is tired, alone, angry, frustrated, bored, happy, etc..
* She eats too quickly, the brain needs at least 20 minutes to signal the body that it no longer hungry,
* She eats unconsciously she décice eating a biscuit or a piece of potato chips and then without it realizes the whole package goes,
* She made bad food choices often she eats fatty chips instead of potatoes, she drinks a milkshake instead of tea.
* It has binges she feels anxious when in the company in front of many foods and about to eat a lot.

How to handle it?

To fight against the uncontrollable snacking, plan a few snacks balanced and healthy daily snacks that you can measure and assess. If you feed a little more frequently, you’ll most probably less desire to snack constantly.
Choose nutritious snacks without fat. Fruits and vegetables are good examples.
You can eat your favorite food while it is loaded with calories (and you know), it is your duty to please you from time to time, but you should balance other healthy choices

Do not eat too much of that food calories (some pieces are already reducing your urge to eat). If you must eat sugar, eat a little protein supplement so that your blood sugar does not vary too much (and cause even greater desire to eat sweet foods).

In the body, they meet different needs and are not treated equally.

Latest carbohydrates, more complex, are called “slow sugars” because they are gradually absorbed by the intestine. They must indeed be broken, initially, in elementary carbohydrate molecules (glucose, fructose and galactose).

They are opposed to monosaccharides, known as “rapid absorption of sugars, which are immediately absorbed. These have the disadvantage of too quickly stimulate the mechanisms for regulating blood sugar (insulin secretion during a meal), and not to alleviate hunger long enough. A balanced meal should contain two varieties of sugar. Unfortunately, the current trend is to replace the carbohydrate sugars faster (decrease in consumption of pulses and starches in favor of fruit or chocolate bars).

Note finally that the absorption of fructose is also faster than other simple sugars, but it is immediately used half and half in the reserves stored in the form of glycogen. Its use does not trigger insulin secretion, unlike other sugars “fast”, which might have an interest in certain cases of diabetes.
