Behavioral nutrition is a holistic approach to eating that considers the psychological and social factors that influence what we eat. She seeks to help people make healthy food choices that are sustainable over time, not just to reach a specific weight goal.
Behavioral nutrition is based on the idea that our eating habits are influenced by a variety of factors, including:
Our emotions
Our thoughts
Our beliefs
Our experiences
Our environment
When we understand these factors, we can start to make changes that help us eat healthier.
