6 TIPS to help mindless snacking
Snacking is one of the most common problem of people trying to lose weight. This snacking habit leads to being in a constant vicious cycle of weight loss. How to end this once and for all. Here are my tips to curb the mindless snacking.
- Water
Are you thirsty? Hunger is often confused with feeling hungry. When you feel like snacking, one glass of water can be extremely helpful. - Delay
Set an alarm clock for 15 to 30 minutes and see how you feel then. - Distract
Cal a friend, go for a walk, read a book or watch a movie. Instead of reaching out for a snack that you don’t want, try to occupy your mind and time with a hobby. - “Out of sight out of mind” If you struggle with snacking on sweets or savoury snacks between your meals, consider such purchase in store. Have a shopping list with you and stick to it.
- Write
Keep a food diary to become conscious of your eating habits. - Relax
Are you in the “I am upset so I snack” vicious cycle? Have a relaxing bath, try yoga or meditate. By learning how to relax and manage your stress you will snack less and feel better.
