Liz’s Stress Levels Revealed According To Food Intake

October 23, 2009

Like everyone else, my stress levels shoot up during midday. It could be a presentation I’m rushing, lines I have to fall into, forms I have to fill up, or deadlines I have to meet. This is why lunch is very crucial to me - I’ve observed that what I eat during lunch is indicative of how stressed I really am, even if I don’t know it. Lunch for me is like a psychological compensation for things that don’t go right. So let’s see, shall we?

Very little to no stress: Fit n’ Right

Slightly stressed: Sandwich from Earle’s or downstairs. A sandwich with very few calories.

Stressed: Pasta dish

Really stressed: Rice meal. The meatier the better.

Super stressed: Cheeseburger meal from McDonald’s, large fries

Insanely stressed: Two revel bars, candies, chocolates, sundaes.

 

Yeah.

I binge on chocolates too when too much stress is flooding my system…

But hey, certain food could help you relax - this I learned from an unusual cafe in Q.C.

I wrote about it recently….visit my blog when you have time.
