How to Avoid Overeating Your Favorite Foods - Jordan News
A healthy habits coach shared useful tips on how to prevent overeating beloved foods such as chocolate and other sweets.
In a TikTok video, Holly Mills explained that avoiding overeating doesn't mean you have to stop eating these foods entirely—whether it's potato chips, cookies, fast food, or chocolate. اضافة اعلان According to Sorry Life, Mills advises overcoming the "food scarcity mindset," which makes a person feel they must finish the entire bag of chips or can't stop until the whole chocolate bar is gone. Organize Your Meal Times To break the "food scarcity mindset," Mills says: 'The first thing you need to do is organize your meal times. Eat regularly every day, following a pattern like three meals and one snack,' meaning your eating schedule should be predictable and fixed. She continues, 'This tells your body and brain that food is definitely coming. And if you can include protein and fiber in these meals, that's even better.' Mills stresses the importance of sticking to a meal schedule and the number of meals, adding, 'Over time, you can reduce your chocolate intake from a whole bag, to three-quarters of the bag, to half the bag, until you reach a point where you feel you're eating a reasonable portion.' She adds, 'None of this is a quick fix. But the more you practice it, the easier it becomes to feel that these foods are abundant, and the easier it gets.' Other Tips Stick to a shopping list. Change your surrounding environment to avoid overeating. Use smaller plates.
Don't reward yourself with food.
