1. Hide your food<\/b>: The more visible your food is, the more you feel like eating. So if there are candies right on your desk and by your bedside you are more likely to eat them than when they are tucked away in a cupboard in the pantry.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Quite like a spurned lover, food also is, according to \u2018<\/span>Mindless Eating: Why we eat more than we think<\/span><\/a>\u2019, \u201cout of sight, out of mind\u201d.<\/span>\u00a0In fact according to research quoted in the book \u2018<\/span>Slim by Design: Mindless Eating Solutions for Everyday Life<\/span><\/a>\u2019,<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n Those who tend to overeat at buffets are the ones who were most likely sitting facing the buffet, looking at all that food and seeing people go back for seconds, thirds, fourths \u2013 you get the drift<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n 2. Work hard to get to the\u00a0food<\/b>: Imagine there was a bakery right outside your apartment, and a special moving walkway from your room to the bakery. How many pastries and doughnuts would you eat every night?<\/span><\/p>\n Now imagine, as a rule, that you had to physically cross over a barbed fence every time you had to get to the bakery?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n 3. Have a scheme for your meal<\/b>: You tend to eat less when your whole meal is \u2018planned\u2019 in advance.<\/span><\/p>\n You must foresee your meal.\u00a0As observed by the author of the book \u2018Slim by Design: Mindless Eating Solutions for Everyday Life\u2019 :<\/p>\n The skinnier people first went through the whole buffet mentally and then only chose those items that they really liked, as opposed to the overeaters who ate everything in the order arranged, and ate anything they didn\u2019t hate<\/p><\/blockquote>\n 4. Take your time to eat<\/b>: It is a known fact, that when you are in a hurry, you tend to gobble down more food. So eat your meals at leisure, take your time to chew in order to consume less food.<\/span><\/p>\n A<\/span>\u00a0study<\/span><\/a>\u00a0conducted by University of Rhode Island in 2011, shows a co-relation between the rate (or speed) of eating and the amount of calories consumed.\u00a0Women who were encouraged to pause between bites and chew 15-20 times before swallowing consumed significantly less number of calories than women who were encouraged to eat fast.\u00a0<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n Basically eating slowly lets the feeling of being \u2018full\u2019 set in<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n 5. Limit the variety of food in the spread<\/b>: It\u2019s quite simple really, the more the variety, the more you will eat. In fact, it is advised by author Brian Wansick\u00a0that you never have more than 2 items on your plate. You could keep going back for more, but you will eventually get bored of going back for seconds and will not overeat.<\/span><\/p>\n![\"make](\"http:\/\/yourdost-blog-images.s3-ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/08160555\/6tipsstopovereating-1-640x350.jpg\")
