Mindless Eating

Ever eat a whole bag of chips when you’re not even hungry? If so, count yourself among the millions who are victims of mindless eating.

What is Mindless Eating? Subconscious eating habits that can lead to unnecessary weight gain.

The good news: You can turn mindless eating into mindlessly eating better -- and maybe even weight loss.

To combat mindless eating, get rid of things in your environment that are tempting you toward eating too much.

Since people eat more from large plates, serve meals on salad plates rather than large dinner plates.

Keep the candy dish out of view and move healthier foods to eye level in the cupboard and refrigerator.

Eat in the kitchen or dining room, rather than in front of the TV or computer, where you're likely to lose track of how much you've eaten.

Mindless eating can have a negative impact on our health and our waistline. It is important to make an effort to fight against these behaviors.
