The pandemic has left a lot of us working from home indefinitely, which means access to our fridge 24/7.
If you're struggling with mindless snacking here are some tips to help you avoid going overboard.
- Fill your kitchen with fiber-rich foods.
- Ask yourself, "Do I really want this now?" or "Am I craving this food because I'm hungry or because I'm bored or stressed?".
- Don't bring it home; If you don't want to derail your diet goals, leave snacks that will sabotage your efforts in the grocery aisle.
- Practice portion control.
- Plan for intentional indulgences.
- Eat at the table, not at your desk.
- Get rid of distractions.
- Close the kitchen.
- Take a tea break.
- Keep a food and mood journal.
- Get enough sleep.
