Any tips to avoid overeating? (lemmy.world)

I live a relatively active life but I struggle with eating too much. I feel like there is no diminishing returns when I eat something. Each chip tastes just as good as the last one. So I will be craving food but know it’s not healthy for me to eat more. I’m trying to find ways to ignore that feeling or dismiss it.

Are there any tips or methods you use to help with that? Impulse control is the hardest thing to work on sometimes.

Don't eat shit food for a meal, and snacking is usually a bad idea.

Though it's counter to American practices, eat a large breakfast and lunch, and lighter dinner. You're active in the day, that's when you need food. Sleep on an emptyish stomach.

Processed foods are not good for you. "chips" are not food as in a meal.

Foods should be mostly recognizable growing things or made from them.

Fats are good for you sugar is fine -- in reasonable quantities. You need fat! You probably don't need sugar, lol, but it is tasty. But it's a shit food source.
