5 Fitness Influencers to Help Combat That Food Noise

Living healthy can feel like a battle on many fronts.

Some of them are familiar.

A healthy diet, and the challenge of navigating the store, a lunchtime meeting, or a stylish night out with friends while sticking to the latest international luxury diet.

A workout regime, and the fight to stay motivated through each rep or spin class.

Then, there are the biological factors that can impact weight and general health that have helped usher in new science-backed prescription weight loss programs that seem to be supported by doctors and nutritionists to correct some of the more difficult variables to enact life-changing, lifestyle changes that will last and improve overall well being.

Some other challenges are perhaps less familiar, such as the struggle against food noise. While this is something most of us have to combat every day, many may still find themselves asking what is food noise?

Food noise is the constant chatter inside your head that keeps you thinking about food when you should be doing something else. Thoughts of your favorite pastry that just won’t go away, or the sense that your day simply won’t get going until you head to that new bakery and sample the latest delights.

Food noise is the fight, it seems like we can never stop fighting. It’s like fighting against negative self-talk. Fortunately, there are plenty of fitness gurus out there ready to ensure your arsenal is fully stocked.
