Habits

[nhs2015]

As a change, I had an egg and cucumber sandwich for breakfast and this made me really full. I am not hungry at all now, and will last till lunch time, but I Keep telling myself to eat a fruit. Why? - Habit - that's all it is. Habit. I usually have a fruit every morning or half way through the morning. With today's breakfast I don't need to snack because I am still full so I have to train myself to know that I should only eat if hungry or at set meal times. Mind over matter really

I would still eat the fruit mid morning as it is a healthy choice snack nhs2015

And if you want to snack try eating carrots, celery, radishes, beetroot etc. They are filling, tasty (to me, at least!) and fewer calories than eating fruit

Sure- sounds good I may try it. You could also try drinking another glass of water when you're hungry for a snack. May work- it's what I do before I eat something I shouldn't.....although in saying that- a piece of fruit wouldn't hurt either though would it?

Totally agree. There is no need to snack in between meals, if you have eaten a sustaining meal, but habits can be hard to break. It is a good idea to eat fruit, but it can be as part of your meal.
