One of the biggest challenges when trying to lose weight is to stop overeating. While it is absolutely essential to eat enough food to maintain your energy, there is no reason to be stuffed. So how do you know when you’ve had enough? Follow these eight tips to reach your weight-loss goal!
1. Eat every four hours. Instead of eating large meals three times a day, eat small meals or snacks like fruit or a small handful of unsalted nuts every four hours to stave off extreme hunger. Eating regularly maintains blood sugar and energy levels, which in turn prevents overeating out of starvation, explains Prevention.
2. Eat breakfast. Setting your alarm just a few minutes earlier to enjoy a proper breakfast can have monumental effects on your weight-loss goals, says Prevention. People who eat fats, proteins and carbohydrates in the morning tend to choose smaller meals for the rest of the day. To make it easier, prepare a yogurt bowl with fresh fruit the night before.
3. Start dinner with a salad. It’s not just because greens are good for you (they are!). Greens have a high water content, which helps fill you up before you get to the calorie-rich main course, explains Prevention.
4. Always eat a protein.
