3. Master Your Meal Timing
Meal timing matters.
• Avoid food intake( except water) after 7-8 PM.
• Delay eating for 3 hours after waking( unless medically contraindicated).
This pattern, often called circadian or timerestricted eating, helps regulate insulin as well as hunger, and promotes fat metabolism.
4. Use Tracking Tools Wisely
What gets measured gets managed. Apps like MyFitnessPal, Lose It!, or simple food journals increase awareness and accountability. Even photographing your meals helps identify patterns you might overlook.
5. Address Psychological Drivers: Scarcity & Control Mindsets
Many people subconsciously overeat due to past scarcity or emotional triggers. Understanding your personal drivers allows you to create new, healthier patterns. Habit stacking, such as linking new behaviors to existing routines, helps rewire these patterns sustainably.
6. Consider Therapeutic Programs Like Whole30 or WFPB
Whole30 is my preferred starting point: a 30- day elimination diet removing sugars, grains, alcohol, dairy, legumes, and processed foods. It recalibrates hunger cues, identifies food intolerances, and resets habits.
The Whole-Food Plant-Based( WFPB) approach offers another sustainable option, emphasizing vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and plant proteins, while limiting processed foods.
