In the fight for a good figure, we are ready for feats. But the enemies are not asleep either. One of them is overeating. What to do with your usual portions and how to tame your appetite?
The more hungry you are, the harder it is to control yourself. Do not take it to extremes, eat often and on time, preferably 5-6 times a day. But portions should be limited.
Hungry? Drink some water. Lack of fluid in the body often makes you feel hungry. Doesn't water help? Don't run after fast food, eat an apple or a vegetable salad.
Do not eat from the pan. Get yourself a small plate and the golden rule: eat as much as it can fit. Psychologists have proved that the size of our roundness can also depend on the size of the plate. Try not to reach for the supplement! The first days will be difficult, but when the stomach decreases a little, dreams of a bowl of dumplings will pass.
Find the psychological reasons for your binge eating. Resentment? Boredom? Anxiety? It is necessary to work with the causes, and then deal with the consequences. By answering the question, what are you eating, you turn your attention from filling your stomach to real problems.
Another find of psychologists is the harm of TV and computer during meals. We concentrate on the information coming from the screen and do not feel saturated. The result is twice the amount eaten. Good company, on the other hand, makes us eat slowly, savoring every bite.
Gathering with friends or having a romantic dinner with a loved one is a good thing, including for a figure, but there is one "but". The party should be alcohol-free. A glass of wine or a glass or two of whiskey will stir up your appetite and reduce your self-control. Do you want to lose weight or improve your health? Temporarily stop drinking strong drinks. You will not lose anything but extra weight.
Make it a goal not to overeat. Write down all the benefits that you will receive by implementing it. If you see what you are striving for, then it is much easier to step in the right direction.
