Six simple tricks for those who are inclined to overeat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2013 Fifteen-minute rule<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make a habit of delaying your meal for fifteen minutes. Tell yourself that if in fifteen minutes you still crave that chocolate bar, chips, or second ice cream \u2013 you can have it. In the meantime, try to distract yourself. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2013 Keeping a diary<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you get hungry \u2013 write down what you are experiencing. There could be all sorts of emotions: anxiety, fear, tension, etc. Once you identify the emotion \u2013 you can proceed to deal with it accordingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2013 Breathing exercises<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Breathing exercises alleviate any stressful situation. Hypothalamic pituitary adrenal axis activates the moment you start feeling anxious which culminates in release of the stress hormones. When you force yourself to breathe normally \u2013 it sends a signal to your brain that everything is OK. No need to rush. No danger. Thus, the need to eat your angst away dissipates. <\/p>\n\n\n

\u2013 Simple exercises<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simple exercises help dealing with anxiety as well as eating if not better. If you do some squats, dashes, burpees, or stretching the moment anxiety hits you \u2013 you will calm down. Therefore, the food cravings will subside. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2013 Drinking water<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That simple action can overpower some ravenous cravings. Stomach sends the signal as it becomes full. Which affords you a pause in time to ask yourself if you are really hungry. Or you are merely displeased with something and feel like eating your troubles away. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2013 Impressions<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Create a distraction for your brain. Do something new. Watch something interesting, read something interesting, or solve a puzzle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do that all the time and not only when you are feeling peckish. Make your life interesting and fulfilled. Both physically and intellectually. To avoid emptiness that can be filled with food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/br>
