Weight Loss - Three Tips to Help You Combat Mindless Eating

Feeling a little like you can't turn off your snacking habit? Do you often
 wonder if you will ever be able to lose weight when half the
 time you hardly even realize you're eating? If so, you aren't
 alone. Many people often feel this way and as a result of it,
 put on pounds of body weight. Unless you can get control
 over yourmindless eating, it gets very hard to see the success
 you want. Becoming more self-aware is the first step.

Here are three tips to help you put mindless munching behind you...

1. Sit While You Eat. The first and highly useful piece of advice is
 always to ensure you are seated while eating. No exceptions.
 If you make this a rule, it will automatically make you more
 aware of what you are eating and help reduce the chances
 you take in foods you shouldn't.

Often it's the foods you eat while standing - chocolate from you co-
workers desk, a bite of your child's sandwich while cleaning
 up their lunch box, or the sample of pizza you grabbed at the
 grocery store. Cut these out and you will be
 amazed at the weight loss results you see.

2. Always Buy The Smallest Package. Sometimes the best method is
 simply damage control. If you eat out of smaller packages
 (even if you are dishing the food into a bowl or a plate), this
 too can reduce how much you eat. That, in turn, reduces the
 total calories you take in, helping to maintain faster fat loss
 results.

And, as an added tip, never eat out of a package. If you can transfer it to
 a dish, this too will usually cut back on mindless eating.

3. Decrease Your Variety. While a variety of food choices is great when
 it comes to getting in more fresh fruits or vegetables, that isn't
 the case when it comes to

 snack type of foods.

The more variety of food you have available, the more you will want to eat,
 and this can lead to an excessive number of calories being
 consumed.

Essentially, when you have many flavors available, you will want to try all
 the flavors. If you have just one flavor, you'll be satisfied with
 a much smaller amount.

So, remember these tips to help you combat mindless munching. Endless
 munching is the one thing you must learn to get control over if you are
 going to move on and reach your weight loss goals.

Although managing your disease can be very challenging, Type 2 diabetes
 is not a condition you must just live with. You can make simple
 changes to your daily routine and lower both your weight and
 your blood sugar levels. Hang in there, the longer you do it, the
 easier it gets.
