Stopping Emotional Eating
The emWave® Stress and Weight Loss Management Program
This proven program, Stopping Emotional Eating, helps you stop "Emotional eating" or "stress eating" with unique tools.
Experts say about 75% of overeating is caused by emotional eating. On top of that, 98% of people who lose weight gain it back, yet being overweight can be one of the biggest causes of emotional stress. Weight loss specialists and health professionals are realizing that there is a missing factor that most weight management programs have not been addressing adequately. It is called “emotional eating” or “stress eating”. The Institute of HeartMath founder Doc Childre wrote in the introduction to Stop Emotional Eating book "Eating is so strongly connected with our feelings (be happy, sad, anxious, lonely, overloaded or depressed), that the balance between heart, mind and emotions has to be included in our diet commitments and intentions." Stopping Emotional Eating, The emWave Stress and Weight Management Program may be the only weight loss method that doesn’t focus on what people eat but rather on what they feel, it is not another diet, but rather a facilitator to any weight loss plan.
The Program
The Program Concept
This program offers instruction on how to create a neural habit change to facilitate weight loss and a better relationship with food and eating. You won’t see any food lists or exercise regimens in this program. While these are important aspects in reducing weight and improving health, this program focuses on what researchers at the Institute of HeartMath have found to be the first and most important aspect of weight management: regulating your emotions.
Stopping Emotional Eating Program gets to the core of unhealthy eating habits by targeting the emotional patterns and stress triggers that provoke emotional eating and keep people in a perpetual up-and-down weight circle. Whereas many diets emphasize mental willpower, Stop Emotional Eating helps people develop their “Heart Power”.
Dr Rozman, co-writer of the book, says “The difference between willpower and heart power is important. Willpower is a mental activity. From the mind you can try to discipline your habits but if your heart hasn’t bought in, you’re missing the emotional component needed to sustain a real change in habit. Heart power is more of a genuine heart intention, strength and intelligence. Putting your heart into whatever you do gives you more power, enjoyment and better results. With this program, you’re learning how to reroute your emotions for more beneficial outcomes”. The Stopping Emotional Eating Program carries a theme throughout that is about taking care of oneself emotionally first. It reflects core values of the heart such as compassion, love, care, appreciation, respect, understanding and forgiveness. The program is really a personal adventure, rather than another discipline or strict regimen.
The Program Content
The emWave® Program for Stopping Emotional Eating is a 5-step program that’s uncomplicated and practical, making it easy to learn and utilize effectively. It consists of a series of progressive steps and tools that help dieters develop refreshing new behaviors and habits that empower them. They learn to identify stress triggers and learn simple tools to reduce emotional stress. As the individual builds more internal awareness and coherence, they are better equipped to sustain their commitments. Lasting behavioral changes come through learning how to apply their heart intelligence to make attitude shifts and find new perspectives. The emWave Personal Stress Reliever helps users develop more discernment on what, when and how much to eat.
A More Balanced Approach to Eating, From the Inside-Out
The program provides step-by-step instructions to be followed over the course of six weeks (or longer to suit your needs), and explains the tools in greater depth. You will gain a deeper understanding of how and why this program works along with inspiration and encouragement as you follow the Program. As you practice these tools and techniques and use the emWave you will begin to develop a new sensitivity to yourself. You’ll increasingly recognize the stress triggers and feelings that have led to stress eating and be able to regulate them more. You’ll shift to more positive and balanced emotional states and increase coherence in your system. Most importantly, you’ll start to find a more balanced approach to eating, from the inside-out.
Five Key Steps Of the Program
- The first step is to identify your stress triggers and stressful emotions that propel stress-related eating and weight gain.
- The second step is to learn two simple HeartMath tools, Notice and Ease and the Power of Neutral to reduce emotional stress and help stop emotional eating.
- The third step is to build internal coherence with the Quick Coherence technique and emWave technology to start changing your emotional diet, help sustain your commitments and make behavior changes you want to make.
- The fourth step is learning the Freeze-Frame and Attitude Breathing techniques to take the drama out of emotional challenges, connect more deeply with your heart’s power and intelligence, make attitude shifts and to find new perspectives.
- The fifth step is learning to make the exciting change from emotional eating to intuitive eating, using the Freeze-Frame technique with the emWave to listen to your heart’s intuitive discernment on what, when and how much to eat.

Testimonials
“If I hadn’t been for the hope this program gave me and measurements that the emWave provided, I would not be where I am today. I have lost 9 pounds and kept it off since finishing the beta test more than 6 months ago. The bonus is that my health and others aspects of my life has also improved. Losing weight was not as important as controlling the emotional chaos I was experiencing. I feel healthier, more energized and I am sleeping better. I firmly believe I am going to continue to lose weight because I am no longer compulsive eating to handle my issues.”
April Mydske, manager, Port Orchard, WA
“I know in my heart that it is because of the HeartMath tools and using the emWave that I was able to lose 75 lbs. Before HeartMath, I had yoyo-ed in my weight, but the most I had ever lost was 15 pounds and then gained it back. Now, it has been more than 18 months since I started and I have no problem keeping the weight off. I started to use HeartMath tools when I felt stress instead of food, which gave me the power and freedom inside the gap between cause and effect, between eating and blindly reacting. I took it one craving at a time, day in and day out. As silly as it sounds, every time I zip up my pants or get down to a smaller size, I use one of my HeartMath skills of appreciation, and I appreciate where I am, what I did, who I am now… HeartMath taught me that appreciation is self love and care and it’s healthy for me. Now I feel so free. I have a new life. I like myself better. It’s known that 98% of people who lose weight do not keep the weight off. I think that’s because they don’t do the psychological and emotional part of it too. For me, having HeartMath and the emWave for the psychological component has been the key to my lasting weight loss success.”
