Top 5 Tips to Avoid Binge Eating

It happens to almost everyone. You get home from work,
tired,hungry, and stressed, and you eat a nice dinner.
But even though you are full, you go back to the fridge
at 8. Then at 8:30. And then again at 9.
You might even hit the fridge, or worse - the freezer
for ice cream - at 10:30.

Night-time eating. Binge eating. Whatever you call it,
it's killing your progress.
So here are my top 5 tips for overcoming binge eating.

When I hear from Turbulence Training readers about their
problems with binge eating, I want to help. That's why I
started a list of the best ways to stop binge eating.

1) Brush your teeth after every meal.

2) Keep the binge food as far away, and as inconveniently
located as possible. If you have a kids, and keep some treats
for them in the house, put them somewhere that you have to work
to get them. Ie. The top shelf.

3) Go for a quick walk or miniworkout of bodyweight exercises
rather than a binge.

4) Eat fruit, not junk, when you just can't stop eating.

5) Try to avoid the environements where binges happen.
