How to Stop Eating Too Much Food?

By John Davenport

This is a million dollar question and if there was a sure shot, foolproof answer to it, a good part of the economy in most developed nations would come to a screeching halt. A multibillion dollar industry would crumble instantly.

The answer is simple - and complex.

The key to stop eating too much is to start thinking differently.

That might sound cryptic but it is not. These days, people are addicted to two aspects of food:

- The way it tastes

- The way it makes them feel

Food was meant to satiate physical hunger. Even today, eating large portions for the sake of satiating physical hunger is permitted (bodybuilders do it all the time). However, when we start eating food to satiate our feelings of insecurity and other desires, it becomes an impossible challenge. That is why the best way to stop eating too much food is to start looking at food as something that gives you energy for activity.

You can stop eating too much food when you learn to eat the right foods in the right proportions. Often, we eat too many refined foods. Foods that have high Glycemic Index(GI) can flood the bloodstream with sugar. That is why many of us feel upbeat after eating a huge slice of cake or pizza. But, this sugar is easily absorbed. Once the sugar is absorbed, we start experiencing renewed hunger. To avoid such a situation, it is recommended that we eat foods rich in complex carbs and fiber. These release sugar slowly into the bloodstream and keep us feeling full for a longer period of time.

It is equally important to eat food on time. You might be comfortable with three main meals a day or six mini meals. Regardless of the pattern, eating should be a top priority.

You can stop eating too much food simply by keeping away from fad diets. Every time you subject the body to a rigorous diet regime, your metabolism comes down and the desire to eat too much goes up a notch.

As you can see, eating too much food - or not - is a matter of conditioning. We can condition ourselves to eat right, although it is hard work. But hey, the good things in life don't come free now, do they?
