Food Noise Explained: Why You Think About Food All Day
Why Me?
According to a National Geographic article in 2024 up to 90% of people occasionally experience Food Noise. So, it’s not just you, or me as I used to believe. However, the severity differs for everyone. Approximately 57% of obese or overweight people experience severe food noise that disrupts their daily life.

When we become stressed, tired, bored, unhappy, if you are someone who has used food as a coping mechanism our brains begin to see this as a quick way to soothe us.

We must retrain our brains by implementing consistent improved coping strategies.
