I stole this guide from a friend on Facebook. I'm going to try to see if I can accurately categorize my food triggers. My triggers are in orange below each category.
Green Light foods: These foods can be handled easily and generally do not trigger overeating. Make sure your fridge and pantry is stocked with these foods.
- fruits, veggies, applesauce
Yellow Light foods: These foods can be controlled in some circumstances. (I will only eat one brownie at a friend's house, but may eat them all if at home) Know what will work for you and steer clear of an abundance of yellow light foods at home.
- cookies, muffins, cupcakes, crackers
Red Light foods: Generally means "Don't go there" as they cannot be controlled. (yet!) It is best to avoid these foods until you can learn how to manage them.
- cheese, pizza, chocolate
Identifying which foods trigger you to eat inappropriately can help you manage them better.
