2 Keys to Avoid Overeating


carrot.jpgJust 2 quick ways to help you avoid overeating. First, for lunch and dinner, always eat a salad with low calorie dressing before the main part of your meal. Salad will help you feel full and has a lot of important nutrients that you need anyways. If you are like most people and jump right to the main part of your meal, you will always eat more than you need.

Second, pick stuff that you have to chew. Studies have shown that chewing helps slow your eating down and actually makes you feel more satisfied with what you ate. With most fast food being soft and pretty much predigested, it is important to skip that temptation and get something you actually have to eat instead of just swallow. So take things like baby carrots, apples and other high fiber foods along with you in a bag or cooler. That way, you can do what you mom always told you not to do- “spoil your lunch or dinner”.
