Practical Tips
Here are three practical tips that can help you if you have problems with overeating.
1) Eat Real Food
2) Limit Plate Variety
3) Slow it down
Eat Real Food.
Food that Grows.
Food that’s Alive.
Vegetables, Fruits, Nuts & Seeds.
Food that is NOT in a bag, a box, or a can.
Most of the food we eat in this society is high in calories and low in nutrients. If you can eat food that ADDS nutritional value and boots your nutritional intake, that will help you to stop overeating hands down.
Limit Plate Variety
Another thing that can help you is to limit the variety of different foods that appear on your plate at any given time. For example, if you wake up for breakfast and you’re used to having bacon, eggs, waffles, orange juice, the works, you might just overeat. Or if you go to a pot luck and you see a big long table with a whole bunch of different types of food, and you take a little bit of everything and you wind up overeating.
But If you decided to get up one morning and have four bananas. You’re going to be like… woah…. that’s four bananas. You really can’t eat much more than three bananas with feeling like you’re about to go bananas. The same would be true if you had four apples, 3 oranges, 6 plums, or a big plate of watermelon. Basically you have to train yourself how to see a lot of food and choose two max three different types of foods, REALLY, one or two different types at a time is best.
Remember, when you try limiting the amount of foods that appear on your plate, It doesn’t mean you can’t eat again once you’re done! If you need more to eat after you’ve had your four apples for example, you just go ahead and you do that, but don’t eat a huge variety of foods at the same time if you know you have a problem with overeating. If you do, you’ll be likely to eat more and more of every little thing, just because it tastes good. This is about telling your brain that you’ve eaten, and that you’re satisfied. If you limit the variety you realize that you feel fuller, a lot sooner. Learn to simplify your meals to one or two options at a time.
Slow it Down.
The third point to help you with the overeating issue is to slow it down. SLOW IT DOWN. If you were to do that it would help you with the challenge of over eating. If you rush through the eating experience, you’re going to completely miss the fact that you’ve even had an eating experience. If you’re in the car driving, running errands, going to and fro while you eat, you’ll miss the fact that you ate, and you’ll see to have the eating experience again, which will lead you to overeating.
If you were to slow down and eat your food, first of all, your brain would realize that you just ate because your stomach is full and your brain would have time to get the message. It actually takes about 20 mins for your stomach to tell your brain that it’s full. So you need to sit down and focus, eat your food, chew it slowly, enjoy the flavours, and recognize that you’ve just had a meal. This will definitely help you when it comes to overeating.
Ok so let’s Review.
1) Eat Real Food
2) Limit Plate Variety
3) Slow it down
