stop emotional & over eating
Weight loss specialists and health professionals are realizing that there is a missing “x” factor that most weight management programs have not been addressing adequately. It’s called “emotional eating” or “stress eating,” and also applies to weight gain related to elevated stress hormones even in the absence of overeating. Once you know how the missing factor applies to why you can’t manage your weight, you can do something about it. There are tools to help stop stress eating and to transform your stress into increased balance, peace and creative energy at the same time.
Experts now agree that about 75% of overeating is caused by emotional eating, which means that a lot of us are using food to cope with our feelings. In today’s high-stress society, many of us, adults and children, eat high fat or high sugar foods to soothe our emotions or relieve our stress and anxiety. One reason why there’s more emotional eating today is that people are crunched for time and under a lot of pressure. In today’s fast-paced world, most of us have a lot of loads we carry that add “weight” to our lives. We carry emotional weight, not just physical weight, making it harder to stick to any diet. On top of that, being overweight or being unable to lose weight can be one of the biggest causes of emotional stress in its own right. Weight loss doesn’t have to be stressful.
You do have the power to achieve and maintain your body’s “best weight” goal, but you can’t only consider your food diet. In order to achieve and maintain your best weight it’s important to address your emotional diet as part of a “wholeness diet.” It’s your attitudes, feelings, self-image, sense of despair and so on—that most determine your ability to stay with a diet plan and not revert to old eating habits.
The HeartMath® tools have been proven in hospitals and clinics to not only reduce stress and increase vitality, but to improve your ability to self-regulate and self-empower behavior change. The HeartMath® technology helps train you to shift from stressful feelings to a balanced and dynamic emotional state called coherence.

Our outward eating patterns are actually reflections of our inward emotional patterns.
“Since I started using emWave with overweight patients, my patients have had the best results in weight loss I’ve seen in all my years of practice. People are losing weight just by increasing their heart coherence with the emWave and with no prescribed diet at all. People know what they should eat. It’s only the emotional side of eating that stops them from eating what they should. Once they increase their heart coherence, eating in a way that’s balanced and beneficial for them comes naturally.”
~ Dave O’Hare M.D. Nutrition and Obesity psychiatrist
“I have lost 15 pounds in the last 2 months using the emWave and feel great. I have discovered that coherence is essential, especially when I am shopping for food, eating that food, and resisting the triggers like TV commercials, smells of baking, the sight of chocolate and dealing with difficult situations and people. Now when I shift into coherence using the emWave, my heart rhythm pattern becomes smooth and ordered, and so do my food choices. Thanks HeartMath!”
