How to get the willpower to eat less?

[Don’t get me wrong, I’m not going anorexic] I need to quit eating as much as I do. I’m not going to stop eating all together, I just want to learn how to control myself, and only eat because I’m hungry. If you could help…that’d be great. Thanks much.

Answer #1

a lot of people just eat because there bored, I’ve done it before. just try to stay active or get involved in something thats very time consuming. then you wont think about eating as much.

Answer #2

Also, take a long look at your diet: what you’re eating. Different foods fill you up at different rates, and have different calorie counts. So if you fill up on Soda, snacks, etc, you’ll have consumed way more calories than if it was broccoli, spinach, and watermelon.

Answer #3

eat slowly whenever your eating meals so ull get full faster, and avoid the kitchen at all times if you arnt eatin diner,breakfast,lunch, itll avoid the temptation of eating more than you should.

Answer #4

you should try and eat slower, because apparently it takes your brain 20 minutes to tell your stomach that it’s full. so eat slow, and eat in frequent small portions. I suggest you eat 4-6 small meals a day, it’ll keep you full throughout the day and you’ll be intaking the right amount of food.

Answer #5

drink lots of water it makes you feel full
