Emotional/binge eating is commonly linked to stress, anxiety, poor sleep, hormonal changes, or habit-based cravings rather than true hunger. Over time it can lead to significant weight gain and metabolic issues.
Next Steps
-Consider screening for:
-TSH/thyroid profile
-HbA1c, fasting sugar
-Vitamin D/B12 if fatigue present
Health Tips
-Do not skip meals; include more protein/fiber to reduce cravings
-Avoid stocking junk foods at home
-Drink water first when cravings start and delay eating by 10–15 mins
-Regular exercise and proper sleep help control emotional eating
-Contact me anytime on Practo for further consultation.

You need to correct your diet first to avoid any food cravings. Junk food or refined carbs causes sudden spike and dip in sugar levels. You should eat fibre and protein rich diet. You can also consult us for proper dietary guidelines and advice
