Whether it’s the television, your phone or even while doing work in the office, when it comes to eating, make sure that your focus remains.

When you’re focused on eating, you’ll appreciate your food more and learn to listen to your body when it’s had enough.

It might seem weird but it might just work once you’ve start to feel about 60 percent full, stop and wait a little. Give your stomach some time to catch up with your mind and realise if it’s still hungry.

If you really want those chips, portion it out in a piece of tissue and stick to eating that amount only.

Ask yourself if you’re really hungry or actually need some water. According to Livestrong, people tend to eat less when they have adequate hydration.

Love chips? Get yourself some slightly salted popcorn instead. Want some chocolate? There’s nothing some low fat peanut butter can’t solve. There are always healthier ways to satisfy different food cravings.

One of the main reasons people tend to snack more in the afternoon is because they didn’t have proper meals. Make it point to eat a proper lunch and breakfast so you don’t go hungry through out the day.

Whether it’s almond, soya or good ol’ cow’s milk, it keeps you full till dinner time and provides you with good proteins.
