Dieting and eating healthy can be difficult, which is why psychology matters. There are some psychological tricks you can use that will make you spend less effort on your diet.
External factors
You regularly look at the reality around you, in the kitchen you often look at different foods. At the same time, how often you overeat or eat incorrectly depends on what kind of things are in front of you. If you want to make it easier to diet or simply eat healthy, put healthy foods in your line of sight.
Remove all temptations from the kitchen like chocolates, packs of chips and soda. Leave only fruit bowls, whole grain crisps, and the like in plain sight.
Make overeating difficult
This point smoothly follows from the previous one. Only here, for the most part, such a person's mechanism is used as a tendency to laziness. The harder you make overeating for yourself, the easier it will be to diet.
As an example, let's take a simple trick from Google, where they wanted to reduce the number of M&M candies eaten. In the offices, they simply removed sweets from open containers and put them in closed ones, although it is not so difficult to take a candy to open containers, the amount of M&M consumption has decreased by three million. You can create some of these difficulties for yourself and you will notice how your overeating will decrease.
Eat slower
Good advice in all respects. In practice, scientists have found that slender people chew much slower than fat people. If food is experienced slowly, then the brain receives a signal of satiety, if you chew faster, then you eat more than your body actually needs, as you continue to eat until you receive a signal of satiety.
Eat in the right company
Here the advice is quite understandable, people unconsciously adopt the behavior of other people. Most likely, you tend to imitate your friends and acquaintances. Moreover, people often simply imitate others, without noticing it at all.
For example, if you eat in the vicinity of a fat person who eats a lot, then subconsciously begin to consider this behavior as normal. With a high probability, in the company of a fat man, you will eat more of your usual portion. Therefore, if you are on a diet, then eating is better done with people like you.
