When you’ve had a tough day at work, do you reach for fast food or other unhealthy options? Research shows that people tend to seek high-calorie, high-fat foods during periods of stress. One study found that 38% of adults say they have overeaten or eaten unhealthy foods in the past month because of stress, with half of these adults engaging in these behaviors weekly or more.
Those in high-pressure jobs are often at risk for such unhealthy behaviors, says Vanderbilt Executive Health Physicals dietitian Michael J. Partipilo, MS, RD, LDN, CHC. He works to improve his patients’ relationship with food and help them realize how better eating habits can make them feel better and perform better. In this new video, Partipilo talks about how he designs customized plans that will have small, measurable steps that build motivation.
