Check overeating

Overeating leads to obesity. The following tips may help you check overeating.
1. Reduce sweeteners: Research shows artificial sweeteners may actually increase a person’s hunger because there is no calorie payoff for the brain, triggering more snacking throughout the day.
2. Plan ahead: Planning and portion control ahead of time makes your commitment to healthier eating more manageable and it helps individuals curb the instinct to grab anything when hungry.  When possible, cook several entrees ahead of time so when hunger hits, you have healthy options ready.
3. Use smaller plate: Use smaller plates and bowls. Smaller surface size means smaller portions. Also, your eyes trick your brain into thinking you are eating more than you actually are once you see that the plate looks full.
4. Keep trigger foods away: Researchers are beginning to realise the spell certain foods can cast over the brain. You cannot resist foods may play with your brain’s appetite-control center and actually reset satisfaction levels. It is best to keep your trigger foods out of the house entirely — no matter how much self control you think you have.
