Eating Habits: A Part Of Our Daily Routine
Food is a personal experience; while some people eat to survive, others live to eat. Each person has a different eating pattern. We will comprehend this more clearly if we come across a dietician. Since everyone has different eating habits, the diet chart given to each individual is unique. The dietician market would be destroyed if everyone could adhere to the same plan, but we all know how well it is doing in the modern world. So, it’s crucial to know what kind of eaters we are.
Here are types of eaters present across the world today:
-
Emotional Eater
Emotional eating can become problematic if it occurs frequently and you lack other coping mechanisms. Eating doesn’t solve the real problem, even though, at the time, it may seem like a way to manage. Food will not change the feelings of tension, anxiety, loneliness, sadness, and exhaustion.
Some people experience guilt and shame due to this cycle of using food as a coping mechanism, making them feel even worse.
-
Unconscious Eater
This may apply to them if they simply can’t help but grab that sugary snack from the office break room. They see it; they’ll eat it.
Because of various factors causing them to become disengaged from the eating experience, unconscious eaters lack awareness while eating. It’s difficult to practice mindfulness if they’re not paying attention while they eat, so being disengaged is a problem. And the challenging aspect of unconscious eating is that it can be challenging to even recognize it as happening because of the lack of awareness.
Avoiding free food would be a good strategy for controlling this habit.
-
Habitual Eater
As habitual eaters, they frequently overlook what and when they’re eating. They’re eating more out of habit or boredom than for health-related reasons. Normally, they feel distracted while eating and are engaged in another activity. They don’t recognize their hunger cues. They eat more simply out of convenience and habit.
-
Critical Eaters
Critical and conscious eating is paying attention to how food enters and leaves the body. From the nutritional value of the diet of the cow whose meat is consumed to the actual physical sensation of digestion, conscious eating explores the connection between what is eaten and what is felt. The choices one makes regarding food it is about feeling a sense of agency over one’s physical health.
-
Sensual Eater
Being a sensual eater allows them to appreciate and enjoy every bite of food fully. They’ll give anything a shot and discover that eating gives you more pleasure than making wise food-related decisions. They’ll savor their meals and have few if any, dietary restrictions. Although it’s commendable that they don’t consume any “bad” foods, portions and food density can be problematic.
-
Energy Eater
They choose “healthier” foods but eat more than they realize. A 3-mile run could result in burning 300 to 400 calories, which is not a lot of food. They consume food for energy, but it can be harmful. Too much food within a short period is unhealthy.
