Eating Too Little
When depressed, some individuals have no appetite for food or simply forget to eat. It can lead to vitamin deficiencies, anemia and weight loss. As a result, the individual continues to feel weak, unhealthy and depressed.
Eating Too Much
On the opposite side of the spectrum, some individuals tend to eat too much when they feel depressed. Food stands as comfort and brings satisfaction. Eating too much can lead to weight gain, poor body image and feelings of poor self-control.
Eating What Is Most Convenient And What Tastes Good
It is common for depressed individuals to feel unmotivated. As a result they look for convenience rather than preparing their own food. We all know convenient foods tend to be heavily processed, full of preservatives, sugar and fat. Individuals with such dietary habits will most likely have low energy. And the vicious cycle continues.
Here at Park Avenue Nutrition we know how hard it can be to shake a case of the blues and we want to help you get back on track! Mood changes, anxiety, depression are often present in persons with eating disorders. Contact our office to set up an appointment. We will help you adjust portion sizes, choose healthier foods, and incorporate physical activity.

Park Avenue Nutrition Seal of Approval: Reviews
Marmara Mediterranean Restaurant
1160 3rd Avenue (Between 93rd and 94th)
www.turkishrestaurantnyc.com
Lisa Cohn gives her seal of approval to Marmara; this Mediterranean and Turkish style restaurant uses fresh and all-natural ingredients to create their delicious meals. The grilled calamari is prepared with tarragon olive oil and lemon juice. This delicious dish is low in calories and full of flavor. Getting an A+ from Lisa Cohn and her nutrition assistants.
Natural Gourmet Institute for Food and Health
Lisa Cohn gives her seal of approval to the Natural Gourmet Institute for Food and Health. This institute holds classes for the public on all different types of cuisine. One of Lisa Cohn's assistants, Naomi, had the honor of participating in an authentic Mediterranean vegetarian cooking class taught by Jennifer Abadi, author of A Fistful of Lentils. Mrs. Abadi shared that most of the spices in Mediterranean cooking came from India. The class made Laban, a tart thick yogurt that can be used as a spread as well as Shakshuka, a hearty tomato and egg stew with white beans.
Farainella Italian Bakery, Pizza & Panini
1132 Lexington Ave
www.farinellabakery.com
Lisa Cohn gives her seal of approval to Farinella, Italian Bakery, Pizza, & Panini. This pizzeria makes their food with fresh, all-natural and organic locally produced ingredients. The 4ft long rectangular pizza is baked to perfection, and the shape reflects on the way pizza is cooked in Italy. One of Lisa Cohn's assistants, who has just returned from living in Rome for 4 months, says Farinella's pizza is delicious and reminds her of living in Rome. She gives her seal of approval to the Primavera slice, loaded with fresh mushrooms and zucchini; the pizza has very little sauce but tons of flavor.
