Heather Crosby, Yum Universe: "Eat Your Feelings is a joyful, judgement-free zone and an opportunity to answer your body's call in an informed and delicious way."Lindsey Smith, The Food Mood Girl, shows how you can transform your lifestyle by learning from your cravings and using mood-boosting ingredients every dayBlending together Lindsey Smith's passion for health and wellness, food and humor, Eat Your Feelings is a humorous, lighthearted take on your typical diet book.Busy young professionals wrestle with long hours, an exhausting dating culture, and the stress of the modern world. As days whiz by, it's normal to gravitate toward food -- a quick slice of pizza, a chocolate bar, or a bag of chips -- that fulfills a craving of the moment or gives a quick energy boost. And this impulse makes sense. Food gives us a sense of pleasure and joy. It can provide us with satisfaction and comfort. Food can awaken each of our senses to something new each time we eat. It gives us energy, and quite literally sustains life as we know it. It should be emotional.If you are feeling sad, stressed, exhausted, hangry, or bored, it's comforting to eat dishes you love and crave. But Lindsey Smith shows how simple it is to make those same meals and snacks with mood-boosting ingredients that will physically nourish instead of processed foods. In Eat Your Feelings, Lindsey Smith, the Food Mood Girl, will look at ways to eat healthy food based on what people tend to crave the most during heightened emotional states, introducing recipes with crunchy, cheesy, creamy, sweet, and salty themes and drink alternatives for those who tend to chug soda or coffee when all worked up.It's crucial to listen to your cravings: they are the gatekeepers that unlock the secrets to our unique bodies. But a major element of the Food Mood lifestyle is love, and revolutionizing the way you treat your body and your cravings will not only rid yourself of hanger pains but will also teach you how to listen and respond to your body with healthy ingredients and recipes.
