You should not give up food completely, this will lead to serious health problems, however, if you have an addiction to consuming food in exorbitant quantities, you should reconsider your diet and find reasons to distract yourself from the obsessive desire to eat.
Instructions
Step 1
Do not eat when you are not hungry. If the craving for a snack is the result of boredom, go for a walk, switch to something else, drink a glass of water or a cup of unsweetened tea. If you really want to eat, place a bowl of fruit or carrot sticks in front of you, not chips or cookies.
Step 2
Break up all the food you eat into small portions so that you have 5-6 meals a day. This way you will not feel hungry, which means you will avoid overeating.
Step 3
Replace the foods you eat with less nutritious ones: instead of pork, eat chicken (preferably breast), veal, and turkey. Replace fatty fish with lean fish, ordinary pasta - with durum wheat pasta, white bread - with grain, sweets - with dried fruits. Thus, you will reduce the energy value of your diet, this will avoid gaining extra pounds.
Step 4
Avoid food additives that improve appetite, try not to eat ketchup, mayonnaise, fatty sauces. Replace these foods with unsweetened yogurt, and season salads with a little olive oil and apple cider vinegar.
Step 5
Next time you are going to eat, answer the question - do you want to eat an apple (a slice of bread) right now? If the answer is no, then you are not really hungry, put the food aside. Yes, you have to show willpower, but who said it would be easy?
Step 6
When you have psychological problems, go for a walk, meet with friends, talk to a specialist, but just do not "seize" your troubles - this can lead to extra pounds and bulimia.
Step 7
Drink about 2 liters of water (30 ml per 1 kg of body weight) during the day. Water dulls the feeling of hunger, filling the stomach, as a result, if you eat, then very little.
Step 8
Visit a psychologist and establish the nature of your addiction. Consult with a nutritionist and gastroenterologist, perhaps an increased craving for food is not a whim or a fad, but an indicator that you have serious health problems that need to be addressed as soon as possible with the help of doctors.
