How to resist nervous hunger? Many people ask me, and you usually don’t like my answer at all.
In fact, you can’t resist nervous hunger: that’s what I can answer, and what you do. Nervous hunger is not controlled, it is precisely the concept of control that is wrong regardless. Resisting nervous hunger is counterproductive for many reasons: the first is that nervous hunger is a symptom.

Just as you would not resist a continuous cough without trying to take a syrup, or a virus without trying to take an antibiotic, at the same time you have to consider nervous hunger as a symptom.

Here’s what NOT to do. 
1) Try to resist nervous hunger, avoiding eating
2) Try to resist nervous hunger, purging or eating less after a binge, or maybe fasting
3) Try to continue the diet that led to nervous hunger
4) Eating zero-calorie (or zero-sugar) foods in a mild attempt to fill your stomach.
All these behaviors not only do not solve the situation, but often make it worse, increasing stress and favoring the typical feeling of continuous deprivation .In particular, the so-called light foods, with zero calories, often contain artificial fibers and sugars which in large quantities worsen our microbiota, stimulating nervous hunger as a return effect.
Let’s see what to do instead.
