Last week I gave you some great idea for snacks. It is great to have a healthy snack between meals two to three times a day, but by that I don’t mean mindless eating…

Some people might confuse a healthy in-between meal snack with mindless snacking. An in-between meal snack is usually something healthy that you eat consciously and with the aim to keep your metabolism fired up.

Mindless snacking on the other hand is when your hand reaches for the potato chips, peanuts or buttery popcorn every 10 minutes or so… or maybe even a couple of scoops of ice cream as a late night snack. Now that will completely mess with your weight loss goals

Junk Food

We don’t want that!

So what can you do to curb that mindless eating? I have a few ideas for you…

Make a conscious decision not to ever eat standing up, or in the car. You want to be relaxed while you eat so your whole body and all your senses are aware that you are nourishing it. Every meal needs to be a mini event.

Don’t ever skip a meal! You might think that you are saving yourself calories, but you will end up feeling so hungry that you’ll wind up eating extra calories later to feel full.

Night time binging is usually as a result of boredom. Take up a hobby to keep your hands and mind busy – and watching TV is not going to do it… I find that my binging is the worst when I am sitting in front of the Tele – but maybe you can knit or Paint model airplanes or cars while you are relaxing in front of the TV…. just a thought…

It also helps to brush your teeth, nothing seems quite so tasty when you have toothpaste in your mouth. I also find that a cup of hot tea makes me feel satisfied – so I can forget about my so-called craving.

These are just some ideas on how to try and curb the mindless snacking…

Oh, and one last thing – you can’t eat what isn’t there, so when you go grocery shopping, avoid buying those decadent late night temptations.
