Reasons of overeating may varies like boredom, stress, irritation and frustration but the result is same `Weight gain`.Here are some tips to hit the habit of overeating and develop the habit to eat in moderation:

Keep an eye on what you eat

It is natural to switch on TV when you are getting bored and munching wafers, pizza and burger while watching TV. Eating while watching TV is much prone to overeating that you don`t even realize.  Hence, it is advisable to avoid eating while watching TV and if you can not resist yourself then eat vegetables salad or fruit salad that are nutritious too.

Low Calorie Meal Starter 

Instead of jumping on to the full course meal, start your meals with a low calorie starter. You can go for  low-fat dressing vegetable salad or soup that will not only help you in cutting down your diet, but will also give a fiber boost to your digestive system. 

Replace big plate with smaller one

If you use an oversize plate for your meal, you will fill it accordingly, as smaller amount appear awkward in a big plate and give you the feeling that you are eating very less; escaping from leftover, you try to finish what is in your plate. To avoid this, use a smaller plate that give you the feeling that you have a full plate with lots of food. You will take less food, and therefore consume less calories. Don`t eat food in haste. Chew your each morsel properly. Studies have shown that when you chew slower, you eat less as it also lets you know when you are full before you start overeating.

Moderate eating while Eating

Eat in moderation while eating out. Generally, the serving sizes at any restaurants or hotel are more than double. At this time don`t try to finish it completely, instead of ask your waiter or waitress to bring you a take out box and keep this extra amount of food in it.

Frequent Mini Meals 

Never ever skip a meal or avoid food for long hours, when you starve yourself for long time you will have craving for more food; the next time you have your meal and you will eat much food that will lead to overeating. To avoid this, take small frequent meal. 

Increase your water consumption

Consumption of plenty of water can exempt you from overeating as your stomach feel fuller and your craving for strong food will be minimized. You can take hot water with lemon juice which is a great concoction that helps in increasing metabolic rates and help in burning calories too.
