Sure, you try to eat right and exercise as much as possible, but it seems as if resisting temptations can also become too difficult. If you’ve tried everything but it seems as if nothing’s really working, you can start thinking about making big changes. First off, you need to work on your dining area. Diets fail not just because your willpower has become weak. So many factors come into play here. You now need to think about the environment you’re living in. You may have set up your home to be less friendly to all your health needs.

First of all, think about how you eat. Are you often in such a hurry that you stand up half the time? You actually need a chair to eat. This somehow implies that you won’t be rushing through your meals and that you’re giving your stomach time to signal to your brain that it’s had enough. Also make sure that you have a clock on your dining area. You need around 20 minutes before you actually realize that you’re full. Just think about the times you were in school and watching the clock so you know when the bell finally rings. This exercises those very same ideas because you need to be mindful of the fact that you should know when you’ve had enough before you get another helping on your plate.

Did you also know that bright lights actually encourage you to eat less? That’s because you are more likely to feel stressed when you see just how much you’ve consumed. Never dim the lights when you eat and make sure you see your hands reaching for the dessert. Or, you could also think about repainting your walls. People have made several studies on colors and the effects it had on people. Bright and warm hues actually aren’t ideal. These colors somewhat act as stimulants that’ll make you want to binge out more often. Go for neutral colors instead. If you don’t have the means to make a full change, try to balance it out with the right decoration.

Most importantly, never make the TV accessible when you eat. You are more likely to linger when you’re enjoying the show you’re watching. And you know what happens when you stay in front of the foods for longer periods of time? You lose track of the amount of food you’ve eaten while you get into the story of the show you’re watching. The very same idea applies to music.

The point here is to never make yourself too comfortable. Heat is a dieter’s ally. When you turn on the AC, you’re actually making your body think that it needs more fuel. That’s because your body requires more energy to survive in cold temperatures. Instead, just turn the unit off and see that a warm temperature actually represses your appetite. Eat on smaller plates and chew slowly. That way, you’re enjoying your meals but at the same time, keeping in mind your body’s limits.
