8 tips to stop overeating
Ever wanted to Stop Overeating? well, we all do it's because our brains are wired to crave sugar and refined carbs which makes you even hungrier, so let me help you with 8 tips to keep you from overeating and none of them involve counting calories. Here we go.
number 1: cut out the process stuff and eat real Whole Foods, the single most important thing to lose weight and avoid overeating is to include as many real whole unprocessed Foods in your diet as possible, things like vegetables, fruits, nuts, whole grains, bean seeds, olive oil, organic free-range or grasp in animal products like poultry, lamb, beef, pork, and eggs. while smaller fish like salmon and sardines they help you reset your brain and your appetite.
number 2: Eat breakfast, you need to eat breakfast, a recent study found that almost 3,000 people who lost an average of 70 lb and kept it off for 6 years ate breakfast every day, in fact only 4% of people who never ate breakfast kept the weight off so eat breakfast every day and do not eat food at least 2 hours before going to bed, eating food earlier in the day prevents you from overeating at night.
number 3: Eat mindfully, our stomach takes 20 minutes to tell the brain that we're full, so we tend to overeat when we eat too fast, eating while we're stressed out also makes us fat both because we don't digest our food properly and because stress hormones slow your metabolism and promote fat storage especially that dreaded belly fat so when it's time to eat slow down and enjoy every part of your meal or snack.
number 4: take in moderate or eliminate alcohol, I know it doesn't sound so fun but it works, cutting out alcohol will get rid of additional sugar, calories and prevent you from overeating, alcohol releases your inhibitions which is why restaurants offer you a drink the beginning of a meal, you still with me? now I've become aware of trigger foods one little soda can begin that downward spiral to overeating so stay away from the trigger foods that make you eat more things like sugar, sweetened drinks, Sweets, bread, baked goods, refined carbs of any kind even artificial sweeteners make you crave more and eat more so stay away from them.
number 5: keep a journal, we use food to block our feelings but you can use words to block food, in fact, research shows that journaling is an excellent way to lose weight and it's a great way to be honest with yourself and be accountable so we often overeat and stuff ourselves with food. Writing down our feelings, so write your feelings down instead of eating them.
number 6: get sufficient sleep, in fact one study found that even if you lost a little bit of sleep prediabetes or diabesity it makes you hungry and makes you crave sugar and carbs Paving the way for more obesity and type 2 diabetes so get 8 hours of sleep every night or at least 7 you'll have fewer cravings and you'll normalize those fat regulating hormones.
number 7: control your stress levels, demanding jobs, marital tension, lack of sleep, too much to do and little time to do it creates stress for most of us, you see stress makes us overeat and it makes us overeat the wrong kinds of food which leads to weight gain, so learn to actively relax. I'm not talking about sitting on the couch watching TV, I am talking about things like meditation, yoga, deep breathing or any other techniques that help you reduce stress. And the last tip,
number 8: exercise, the right way to the right kind of exercise can help you lose weight help you maintain your weight loss and even controls your appetite so you don't overeat, so First Work a minimum of 30 minutes everyday that's bare minimum where pedometer and set a goal of 10,000 steps a day but I like to do other stuff, you can run, you can walk, you can dance just turn on the music and have a party in your house and closing the shade so no one sees you, play games, jump on the trampoline do, whatever is fun for you. so I want you to stick to these 8 tips and you will lose weight every single time.
