5. Eating When You’re Thirsty.
It’s easy to mistake thirst for hunger; sluggishness and headache are common signs of dehydration, and
these ailments can also strike when you’re hungry.
If you don’t think you’re getting enough fluids (The Institute of Medicine suggests men drink
about 3 liters of water daily, women should drink 2.2 liters daily), try having a glass of water
before chowing down.
6. Eating during Other Activities
If you eat while watching TV, while working, while reading or even while cooking then you are also
developing an unhealthy eating behavior. When you eat while doing other activities, you become unable
to measure how much you eat. As a result, you tend to overeat without knowing it. Try to have a specific
schedule for eating. In the house, have a designated place exclusively for eating. For instance, you can
make sure that you only eat in the kitchen and not in the other parts of the house.
7. Eating Late at Night
Having an occasional late night snack is fine, but if you can't go to bed without having a plate of cookies
or a slice of pie first, then you could be setting yourself up for weight gain. Eating too close to bedtime
will also give you sleeping difficulty since your body will be busy digesting food.
8. Distracted Eating. If you grab a bag of pretzels and plop down on the couch for your favorite night of
TV, you may reach for a handful and realize you’ve plowed through all the snacks. Distracted eating in
front of the TV or computer is unhealthy because it is easy to focus on the TV show or website without
paying attention to eating habits; you may be eating when you’re completely full if you’re focused on
something else.
If you’d rather not eat in silence, portion your meals and snacks before you turn the TV on or
open your laptop so you’re not tempted to keep eating.
