Instruction manual
1
Drink a glass of water
The easiest way to trick your stomach is to drink half or a glass of water. By the way, this technique is widely used by yogis. If after drinking the liquid you want much less, then the time for lunch has not yet come.
2
Take a bath
A warm bath helps to relax, and this, in turn, reduces appetite and distracts from obsessive thoughts about food.
3
Do a charge
An excellent distraction can be a simple warm-up and a few exercises. This also includes workouts in the gym.
4
Brush your teeth
Sometimes an irresistible urge to eat something can completely discourage the minty taste of toothpaste in your mouth.
5
Eat on schedule
If you eat small meals every 2-3 hours 5 times a day, then the likelihood of an obsessive feeling of hunger is significantly reduced.
6
Have a good breakfast
Do not neglect your morning meal. Breakfast should be about 1/3 of the daily calorie intake, be tasty and nutritious. At the same time, sandwiches with ham or scrambled eggs for breakfast are much preferable to low-fat yogurt, which will not saturate you.
7
Have a good snack
Knowing the weakness for snacks, be sure to keep healthy products in the kitchen: fresh fruits, berries, fitness bread from wholemeal, non-fat natural yogurt.
8
Find a hobby
It's no secret that an interesting lesson is very distracting from thoughts about food - it can be needlework, drawing or assembling puzzles.
