LET BACH™ EMOTIONAL EATING KIT HELP YOU STICK TO YOUR 2011 HEALTHY EATING PLANS THIS EASTER
A survey[1] by Bach Emotional Eating kit# has found that it’s not just kids indulging on chocolate eggs over the Easter season; nearly half (48%) of woman in Great Britain eat between one and three Easter eggs themselves over the two week period. The average 100g chocolate egg contains around 500 calories[2], but go for a large egg or add the chocolate treats found in the middle and you're looking at a whopping 1,000 calories per packaged egg. That’s means up to 3,000 additional calories are consumed over the two week period over Easter[3], on top of regular meals!
Many of us hit the chocolate after 40 days of ‘giving up’ a vice (or two) over lent. The survey found that 20% of women who gave up a particular food or drink for lent overindulge or ‘binge’ on that vice over the Easter season undoing all their good work of the previous weeks. Women often turn to chocolate, not just at Easter but all year round, as it’s seen as comfort food when they are feeling down. So how can we make sure Easter indulgence doesn’t ruin our 2011 healthy eating plans?
