Practice mindful eating
Over the Christmas season, people tend to be in a rush, which frequently results in multitasking while eating. According to studies, people who eat while distracted are more prone to overeat. This is a result of their inability to pay attention to their body's fullness cues. Reduce distractions, such as work and other devices, while eating, to avoid this.
Mindful eating is a technique that helps you gain control over your eating habits. It has been shown to promote weight loss, reduce binge eating, and help you feel better. Mindful eating is about developing awareness of your experiences, physical cues, and feelings about food. Start by trying to chew slowly and thoroughly so that you may more easily detect your body's fullness cues and eat less food. Taking a few long, deep breaths before you eat can also be beneficial. By doing so, you may feel more focused on the plate rather than on your to-do list.
