Resisting junk food might be as easy as just putting it off.
Instead of denying yourself try telling yourself that you can have it later.
Most likely, postponing a treat until an unspecified later time helps get people over the hump of strong temptation, said Florida State University psychologist Roy Baumeister, who studies willpower but was not involved in Mead’s research.
“You need the resistance at the moment of peak desire, then the peak desire moment passes,” Baumeister said.
Keeping a food diary is one of the best ways to ensure weight loss success.
Everyone underestimates how much they eat and keeping a diary keeps you accountable and aware.
The American Academy of Family Physicians offers these tips on what to record in your food diary:
Exactly what foods you ate — don’t forget to include any condiments, sauces or other extras.
The amount of food that you ate, in either size or volume.
What time of day that you ate, and where you were when you ate.
What you were doing when you ate, and how you felt when you were eating.
Whether you were alone or with someone else.
