What are the ways to control overeating?

Here are five steps that can help you stop overeating effectively:

Identify Tempting Foods: 

Know which foods tempt you the most and which ones you find hard to resist. Keep these foods out of sight to avoid easily reaching them. Making them less accessible can help prevent overeating.

Avoid Distracted Eating: 

Don’t eat while watching your favorite show or working on your laptop. These distractions can make you unaware of how much you're eating, leading to overeating.

Moderation, Not Deprivation: 

Don’t completely restrict yourself from all your favorite foods, as this can increase cravings and lead to binge eating. Allow yourself to enjoy them in moderation.

Eat Greens and Salads First: 

Try to eat more greens and salads before your main meal. This can make you feel full and reduce the amount you eat during the meal, helping you avoid overeating.

Limit Alcohol Consumption: 

If you drink alcohol, try to limit it to not more than two drinks. Alcohol can increase hunger and lead to overeating.

It's really hard to resist your favorite food or dessert, but overeating is not an appropriate solution to cravings. Try out eating foods rich in fiber and proteins as well as counting calories to effectively stop overeating.
