Better Advice for Over-Eaters

Jillian Michaels's Weight-Loss Tip: Destroy Your Leftovers

Everyone should question the advice they receive.  I have always been especially wary of celebrity trainers and fitness/lifestyle blogs.  Instead of criticizing Jillian Michaels, I am going to offer a few strategies you can employ if you are looking to stop over-eating and be socially responsible. :)

- Try portion control.  Divide your food into reusable containers and FREEZE what you don't plan on eating BEFORE you take your first  bite. 

- Try conscious eating.  If you are not one to mindfully enjoy your food, take steps to slow down the meal.  Take a picture of your plate and  share it on social media.  You will be less likely to overeat if you say
you are only having what is in front of you.

 - Tell someone else what you are eating. Some of my clients struggle with their diet and text me foods they are considering for a meal.  I can help them make better decisions in real-time. They usually also end up eating less than they normally would.

- If the remainder of the meal still looks appetizing and you are full, close the container and offer it to a homeless individual but do it respectfully.  Say something along the lines of... "hey man, I was saving half of this burrito for dinner, but I thought you might like to have it instead"  Don't feel offended if the guy/gal says 'no thanks'. I once offered a guy an apple and he flat out reject it but I soon realized it was because he has no teeth.
