Strict rules in dieting or monitoring and banning individual nutrients often doesn’t work for longer periods of time. Focus on eating a healthy balanced diet, and remember that also sweets or treats are sometimes allowed. Eating healthily and regularly supports wellbeing, you can learn to understand your body better and notice what it is saying to you. Could the anger or a brain-freeze in the afternoon be due to hunger? To get up and running in the morning, your body needs both energy and a kick-start: lazy mornings are nice but may come with a cost. In order for a good start in the morning we require not only energy, but also movement to get the blood flowing and delivering said energy to its destination. If you don’t have an appetite in the morning, perhaps take a snack with you to work or study. Many of us nap in the afternoon mainly because the interval between meals has been too long and the body gets tired of a sudden large amount of food. There are many options for a healthy diet, as long as you ensure you eat a good variety and maintain a regular food rhythm. If eating produces anxiety, it’s a good idea to talk about it with someone.
