1.Don’t skip meals
Make sure you eat all meals of the day at the right time. While skipping a meal you tend to overeat the next time you set your eyes on food. This is not healthy.
2.Banish distractions
Keep your focus on your food while you are eating. If you are distracted by either your television, laptop or any other media you might end up overeating without even realizing it until your stomach starts feeling uncomfortable.
3.Chew more bites
It is recommended that you chew every last bite of your food at least 30 times. It will create a sync between your brain and your stomach making digestion easier. This will not only help you in your digestion process but also will let you enjoy your food more.
4.Keep track
Your emotions and the environment might also play a role in triggering overeating. Specific food you enjoy a lot can also become triggers for overeating. Always keep track of what you eat and how much you eat.

Try having some wholesome food that has all the fiber, vitamins and minerals necessary to keep your stomach full. Go for healthier option rich in fruits and vegetables.
6.Address stress
Make sure you are emotionally stable before you sit down for a meal, especially when it is an unscheduled meal. Always keep track of every bite you take. Stress eating is one of the most common types of overeating.
