do you have any tips on how to keep from overeating, esp. junk foods? any tricks you use for yourself?

Answer 1

1. I don't buy them, so they are not in the house

2. I drink water if I'm hungry (and don't need to eat again). Drink a lot of water

3. I keep healthy snacks in the fridge, up front and assessable. (like an open bowl of washed grapes

4. I buy bags of pirates booty. So when I need to mindlessly munch I munch on that. It tastes good and is not bad for you.

5. I make sure that I always have a good meal on hand, something for breakfast, lunch and dinner. If you get really hungry and there is nothing to eat you are going to eat whatever you can and it is usually crap.

6. If I go out I pack a healthy lunch and keep healthy snacks in my purse all the time. And water!

7. I pick my poison. I know that I love oreos, so if we are somewhere and there is cake, I will pass on the cake knowing that I am going to have a few cookies later

Answer 2

Drink a lot of water. When your body is dehydrated it can appear that you are hungry when in fact you are thirsty. Before you eat your meals drink an 8 ounce glass of water to keep from over eating. When you are hungry at other times drink a glass of water first. You might just be thirsty. Take care.

Answer 3

dont buy alot of junk food and drink a small glass a water before eating a meal to keep you from overeating.

Answer 4

well i really like those knid of foods
but as we all know most of them are really bad for you so while i will splurge eveery once in a while
i just try not to have that temptation before me
i like to eat and will just for the fun of it
and to break that habit if i am getting food or want to eat i will just tell myself am really hungry or am i just eating for the sake of it
that helps alot
if i am hungry i will try to find some fruit or vegtable in stead of junk food
or i will drink some water that helps

hope this helped some

Answer 5

discipline! don't buy it and you won't eat it. if you need a snack, eat fruit (grapes, apples, oranges,ect...) eat four meals a day and nothing in between.

this kind of seems like a dumb question. you have to take control of your life. if you want to lay off the sugar, just step up and stop doing it. nobody is forcing you to eat. you are your own worst enemy. this goes for anything...eating, smoking, exercising, watching TV, chewing your nails, masturbation, you name it. nobody is holding you back but YOU!

Answer 6

i look around my house and see what needs painting and go at it! i have painted or repainted almost everything possible - honestly, just a hobby to take your mind off of food is the best solution.

Answer 7

replace high fat foods with lower fat one

Answer 8

I just don't buy that stuff.
