Step 43 Grazing

Ruthie’s Step 43…… Grazing!
Snacking Isn’t Grazing
Mindless eating is often the downfall. Read step 11. You may start with only a handful of your favorite crackers, only to finish the entire box, without even thinking about it. This is not healthy snacking.
To avoid grazing:
1. Fill a small plate with your snack, and leave the kitchen. Just walk away. When your plate is empty, snack time is over
2. Never bring the entire container with you in front of the television or computer. Enjoy your snack without distraction and you won’t be tempted to reach for more. Read step 26.
If you stand around the snack table chatting at a party, you may find yourself reaching for food when the conversation lulls. This can often lead to a binge because you simply aren’t paying attention to what you are eating. Read step 17.

3. Limit yourself to a single serving. Read step 5.
4. Plan out your snacks just like you would a meal. Is one cookie worth the calorie cost, when you could eat a plate of fresh fruit instead? Read step 19.
