How to avoid overeating?

There are cases when people gain weight even if they don’t eat much. If you think you are one of them, you should consult your doctor and find out the reasons of slowdown in your metabolism. However, if you know that the reason of your extra kilos is eating too much, here are some tips for you:

1. Hide all hazardous food and always have some useful snacks next to you: carrots, apples, etc. The point is that we often eat what we have next to us as we want to save time.

2. Do not throw away “the evidence”. Papers of sweets, leftovers of your dinner will remind you how much you already ate and you will know that you cannot eat more.

3. Before starting eating, evaluate what is in your plate. Measure the size of your portion. This will help to eat less.

4. Get a notebook and write everything you eat. This will help you to control how much you eat.

5. Count calories. Remember that if you want to lose weight you have to limit the amount of calories. Make sure your snacks are low in calories. A great option for that is an apple.

6. Get a small plate and eat only from that one. Small plates make you eat less.

7. Learn to feel the taste and the smell of your food. This way you will enjoy it much more. Remember that quality is much more important than quantity.
