Chicken & Buckwheat Noodle Soup

For many years, and in the quest to find the best ways to lose weight, scientists have been looking for reasons why so many people overeat food that is so bad for us, food that is fatty, salty and sugary. There are many theories to explain this overindulgence, which is also linked to the increase in obesity and the inability to lose stomach fat.

Our Comfort Eating Weight Loss Plan and weight loss recipes aim to educate you and retrain your brain, so that you move away from the traditional unhealthy comfort foods and instead begin to enjoy a healthy eating plan and cleaner version of comfort eating.

A lot of experts believe that people reach for comfort food for psychological reasons, both positive and negative, such as feeling happy and in the mood to celebrate or trying to cope with anxiety, boredom or sadness. Over the colder months, people also tend to reach for comfort foods, with many people gaining more than four kilograms over winter and gaining stomach fat.
Others have suggested that our preferences stem from our evolutionary background, that we are biologically programmed to crave certain foods that used to be hard to come by, but are now available in abundance – and do not often form part of a healthy eating plan.
Some suggest it’s our consumer culture that causes us to graze almost constantly. Then there are those who blame the food industry for making us hooked on their products through relentless advertising and even by adding ingredients that work like opiates, turning us into addicts.
Either way, we are on hand to help to show you the best ways to lose weight or to just be healthier.
