Here are three tips to avoid mindless snacking
1. Drink plenty of water
Water not only hydrates you but also curbs your appetite, preventing you from mindless eating. Use a water reminder app on your phone and set a reminder to hydrate yourself every hour. According to nutritionist Gohil, this will help you control and manage your appetite.
2. Eat a balanced diet, not less
It is a common myth that you need to eat light meals to lose weight. However, according to nutritionist Urvi Gohil, eating light meals helps digest your food faster and leaves you craving snacks in no time. To avoid this, nutritionist Gohil suggests focusing on your main meals and eating a balanced diet that contains all the nutrients.
3. Keep low-calorie snacks with you
Instead of choosing ultra-processed snacks, keep low-calorie snacks with you. You can choose foods like roasted makhana, roasted chickpeas, carrot chips with yogurt, vegetables, fruits, etc. and eat them whenever you want.
