If you’re not hungry but you feel like picking, firstly check your mood. Are you anxious, stressed or bored? Choose an action like going for a walk. Brisk walking (or any exercise, really) appears to provide alternative stimulation that interferes with thoughts about food. You’ll notice that regular walks, especially outdoors, will improve mood and reduce stress as well.
If you’re hungry, make more informed choices when choosing snacks and foods to eat. Be very careful of caving to processed foods. Most commercial junk foods deliberately appeal to your dopamine receptors so you eat more of them, more regularly. It’s not your lack of willpower that has you licking the crumbs from the bottom of the packets!
The rush you get from junk food can be a hard habit to break because the reward is so intense. This is one ‘food group’ I recommend avoiding and make it easier on yourself in the long term. Find a replacement that’s healthier.
Snacking is a great opportunity to work on eating your daily servings of 2 fruits and 5 vegetables.
