The modern world is full of temptations — restaurant ads, cooking shows, and mouth-watering photos on social networks are everywhere. We often eat not because we are hungry, but because food has become part of our daily leisure and emotional satisfaction.
URA-Inform reports on how not to overeat, citing The Vilage.
Signs that a person is overeating:
1. Feeling heavy and tired after eating. If after lunch or dinner you feel like you can barely get up from your chair, you probably ate more than you needed. The body spends a lot of energy digesting excess food, which causes a feeling of fatigue and drowsiness.
2. Constant cravings. Frequent snacking may signal that food has become a way for you to cope with your emotions. Think about whether you are really hungry or is it just a habit or a way to distract yourself from problems?
3. Lack of pleasure from food. When we eat too much or too often, we stop enjoying the taste of food. If every meal turns into a routine, this may be a sign that you are eating unconsciously.
4. Physical discomfort and digestive problems. Overeating can cause bloating, nausea, and even abdominal pain. These symptoms indicate that the body cannot cope with the volume of food and needs a break.
5. Rapid weight gain or weight fluctuations. If you notice that your weight is increasing despite regular exercise and a healthy diet, you may simply be eating more than you need. We often underestimate the calorie content of snacks or forget about them altogether.
