To help break bad habits, you should record not only what you eat, but also the circumstances that prompt you to eat. For example, maybe you indulge in more sweets at work because you sit close to the vending machine. Maybe you have a milkshake several times a week because you pass fast food on the way home. Or maybe every time you worry about money you retreat to the kitchen for chips.

When you begin to notice these patterns, you can figure out ways to change them. If the vending machine is a constant temptation, stock your desk drawers with fruits and granola bars. If you can’t resist a fast food sign, take a different route to work. If you eat when you’re under pressure, steer clear of snacks and take a short walk instead because it is scientifically proven stress buster.

Another bonus: when you increase awareness of what’s going on in your mouth, you will feel fuller sooner than if you were just mindlessly munching. Try using alli, if you want to reduce faster.
