MASTER YOUR FOOD ENVIROMENT AND WATCH THE WEIGHT COME OFF! 🍟

The temptation of junk food in your personal environment are powerful drivers of overeating.

One of the most effective tools in your arsenal is to reduce your exposure to these types of food.

Here are some ways to take action:

First, get ride of all the tempting, high calorie foods that are easy to grab and eat in your home and work environment — particular. those that are readily visible on counters and tables. These include chips, cookies, ice cream etc. Don’t give yourself the option to eat these foods, and you’ll find that you crave them less.

It’s possible to overeat on healthy foods so don’t temp yourself too much. Limit the amount of visible foods on your personal food environment at home and at work, particular snack foods that are easy to grab and eat. Minimize your exposure to food advertising on elsewhere if you can.

Second, create effort barriers to eating. These barriers don’t have to be crazy. For example, if you have to slice an apple to eat it, you probably won’t go for it unless you’re genuinely hungry. The same goes for nuts and breaking their shells.

Perhaps the most stringent effort barrier is to limit the food in your kitchen to items you’ve have to cook or reheat to eat. Chances are, if you have to cook something, you don’t eat it…
