Eating Healthy While Stressed

I have been under a lot of stress lately, and that means that I have been craving sugars and comfort foods. Here's how I try to get my sugar fix without eating unhealthfully.

• Whole wheat crepes with cranberry compote
• fresh mozzerella cheese and garden tomato salad
• dried fruit such as dates
• fruits such as bananas, pears, and apples
• the promise of cooking a healthy meal
• whole wheat bread
• comfortaing whole grain starch meals such as oatmeal for breakfast

Exercise also helps because it helps release cortisol and mitigates my need for carbohydrates.
