Let’s face it; we all tend to overeat more at lunch time. Its might be because you didn’t take the time to eat a solid breakfast, waited too long to eat, ate at your desk (which means you’ll focus more on work and not the food and that’s the easiest way to overeat) or even ate out. It happens all the time and it’s hard to stop once you start because you listen to that little voice in your head that says “it won’t make much difference anyway”. This is probably one of the biggest reasons you’re not shedding the calories as fast as you can. Here are a few tricks you could use to make sure you don’t overeat during lunchtime.
Pack your own lunch from home
This way you wouldn’t have to go out and be tempted to order from the lunch menus that have main meals that are probably more than what you need. In addition, you’re won’t be sure about the ingredients put into the food you’re going to buy so the calories you consume will be out of your control. Also, If you’re prone to buy those super convenient, frozen pre-package foods that can be easily heated up, you should re-consider continuing it because it could be the reason you’re not losing weight as it contains a lot- and i mean a lot of car
Eat a solid Breakfast.
You probably already know that breakfast is the most important meal. There’s a reason this saying is so true “Breakfast like a king, lunch like a queen and dinner like a pauper”. Breakfast boosts your metabolism which is just what you need for the start of a productive day. Plus, by skipping breakfast or even eating a small amount of it, you will get hungry and have higher tendency to overeat during lunchtime.
Eat slower and chew more
Yes, i get that you’re busy and don’t have much time to spare but you will have to make time for this. It concerns your health. So eat slower and chew more. This will help your digestive system process food better so you’ll feel full faster than if you were rushing and eating like it was the end of the world.
Don’t drink very sugary drinks
Sugary drinks are very calorie-dense and are converted to carbohydrates in the body and that will only add more calories that you can very well do without if you’re serious in your weight-loss goals. Just drink water; Its delicious, healthy and has no calories. Or better yet, you could try a lemonade or lemon water, it has a lot of benefits like flushing out toxins from the body, boosting the digestive system, improving the efficiency of several organs in the body like the liver and…wait for it, boosts fat-burn rate.
Focus on the food.
One of the most important causes of overeating is multitasking. In fact, it has been scientifically proven that multitasking reduces the taste of the food in your mouth which is as a result of the senses in the brain competing with each other because the brain has to process everything at once. This automatically translates to overeating. You need to focus on the food. That way you’ll feel full faster and won’t overeat.
