This document is a blog written by PCN Dietitian Carrie Eckersley about why it can be difficult to resist chocolate during Easter. It explains how our food environment, marketing, and human biology influence eating habits, rather than it simply being a matter of willpower.
The blog reassures readers that enjoying treats during celebrations is normal and encourages focusing on balanced habits over time, such as eating regular meals, including filling foods like protein and fibre, and staying active. It also signposts readers to the PCN’s “Beyond the Scales” podcast for further support with weight management.
