Binge eating is one of the signs that a person suffers from an eating disorder.

If you are eating and can't stop, here are some tips to help you switch to healthy eating without dieting and the stress that comes with it.

Eat alone

When you get distracted, you stop paying attention to your portion size and end up eating more.

Try to make sure that no one and nothing interferes with your sight, smell and taste of food. This means that you need to eat away from the company of friends, the phone or the TV. As a result, you will feel full sooner.

Find your portion

To find your portion and focus on it next time, have a mindful meal. Track your feelings and stop as soon as you feel full.

All that remains is to remember what the portion that is right for you looks like and use it as your standard.

Don't give up your favorite food

Shift your focus to healthy food, but allow yourself to eat something tasty from time to time – even if it’s high in calories. This way, you won’t break down at first and will successfully get used to the new diet.

Increase the amount of fiber in your diet

Include non-starchy, fiber-rich fruits and vegetables on your menu more often. These include grapefruit, lettuce, cabbage, broccoli, bell peppers, cucumbers, and tomatoes.

For reference

Gluttony is immoderation in food consumption.
