Breaking the Chain

Yesterday I wrote about the chain reaction that contributes to overeating even when dieting. It is important to cut the chain to avoid subconscious excess eating habits. One effective method is to review your grocery shopping habits.

Review how you are storing your food, cooking and serving dishes, and dealing with leftovers and cleanup after a meal. Reviewing these actions will enable you to avoid subconscious eating habits.

When going grocery shopping, it is best to do the following:

1. Set up a schedule for when to shop for foods
2. Go shopping when you are not hungry
3. Make a list of items you need in advance
4. Avoid buying instant and pre-made foods

Such tips should help prevent impulse buying and making unnecessary purchases.
