Handle Overeating And Lose Weight

1. Slow down your eating. It is easy to consume a lot of calories before your brain registers that you are full. When you take steps to slow down your eating pace you consume less and feel just as satisfied. To get yourself to slow down do this simple trick, chew your food completely and then swallow every morsel of food before taking a next bite.

2. Eat mindfully. Bring your conscious awareness to how your food looks, smells, sounds as you bite into it, feels in your mouth and of course how it tastes. When you truly notice the foods you are eating you naturally eat less, control mindless shoveling of food into your mouth and make better and healthier food choices.

3. Eat your salad first. Aim to have a salad or vegetable with every meal and eat it first. The fiber and volume of the veggies will fill your stomach and you will find it easier to not overeat the main dish and even skip dessert.

4. Create a distraction for yourself. Many people feel like they are fine until they begin to eat and then they find it almost impossible to pull away from eating. A great way to handle this is to have a "Stopper" readily available. This is a mint, piece of gum, cup of hot tea...anything that will disrupt the eating and help you disengage from the food.

You can handle overeating and lose weight by incorporating these tips into your day.
