Beat Overeating Habits : In today’s time, eating food outside home like burgers, tikkis, chole-bhature and Chinese foods has become a habit of people. For the sake of taste, we often eat more than required, which can cause bloating, constipation, stomach ache and digestive problems. If you also want to avoid overeating while eating out (Health Tips), then follow these easy tips.
Going out on an empty stomach makes you feel more hungry and you end up ordering more. Before going out, eat fruits, salad or a handful of dry fruits.
Drink a glass of water 10–15 minutes before starting to eat. This controls your appetite and you eat less.
By eating quickly, the signal of being full reaches the brain late. Eat slowly and chew every bite thoroughly.
Instead of finishing the entire plate, eat smaller portions first. If you are still hungry, you can take a little more.
If you are with friends or family, share the dish. This will reduce calorie intake and also improve taste.
As far as possible, choose grilled, steamed or baked options instead of deep fried.
Have a short conversation while eating or take a break of 2–3 minutes. This will help you understand whether you are really hungry or whether you are eating just for taste.
Instead of having dessert immediately after eating, wait for 10-15 minutes. Many times we eat sweets just out of habit.
When the stomach is 70–80% full, stop eating. Avoid eating more than necessary.
Many times we overeat in mood or stress. Try to eat only when you are hungry.
