What can you do if you find yourself stuck in a cyle of overeating? Here are some strategies to help:

1. 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝘆 𝗛𝘆𝗱𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱

We can often mistake hunger for thirst, if you think you might be hungry inbetween meals, and you know you’ve been eating enough, have a big glass of water first, and wait 15 minutes to then see how you feel.

2. 𝗠𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝗽

Make sure you have pre-planned and prepared nutritious meals., making it the easy option to eat well. If you have planned out your day beforehand, this will help to remove the thinking around food and what / how much you’re going to eat. Simply eat what you have planned and don’t overthink it.

3. 𝗗𝗼𝗻’𝘁 𝗘𝗹𝗶𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲𝘁𝗲 𝗙𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗚𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗽𝘀

If you cut out one particular food group – eg typically carbs, you certainly will find yourself hungry, meaning you are much more likely to binge later, and on not so great food choices.

4. 𝗗𝗼𝗻’𝘁 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗼𝗻/𝗼𝗳𝗳 𝗱𝗮𝘆𝘀

Try to eat consistently, it takes a lot more willpower if you decide you are going to eat more on some days, and force yourself to be restrictive on others, and is much easier to remain in a sustainable and consistent routine.

5. 𝗗𝗼𝗻’𝘁 𝗮𝗴𝗴𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗹𝘆 𝗰𝘂𝘁 𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀🚫

This is unsustainble, compromising health and a total head f*%$ you don’t need! What do you think is likely to happen when you are overly restrictive and deprive yourself???

6. 𝗣𝗿𝗲-𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗳𝗼𝗼𝗱

Always portion out meals, and even portion out a bit less than you think you are going to need, as 9/10, this amount will satisfy us. When portioning out meals, think of a palm size of protein, at least a fistful of vegetables, cupped handful of ‘smart’ carbs and a thumb of healthy fats.
