How do I stop eating so much?

I think a good way would be to monitor how much food you're actually taking in. Keep a chart of food you've eaten. Therefore, you'll be able to clearly see if you really need more food or not.

Ask yourself if you're full, wait a few second between bites to access your fullness. When you feel full, stop eating, even if there is more food left. However, if you struggle with under eating please see a professional and follow what they recommend.

Keep eating 3 meals a day and snacks, but if you want to lose a healthy amount of weight exercise! Do not over do it or stop eating because that can become unhealthy and lead into an Eating disorder

I start thinking about my body as a temple. I started drinking more water, eliminating alcohol and eating fruits and vegetables every day.

Step 1 Chew your food slowly. When you eat quickly, a number of things happen. You eat extra calories, swallow air and get bloated. The end result is a stomach ache and an overabundance of calories that will get stored as fat. Stop this from happening by eating at a slow pace. Take a bite of food, place your fork or spoon down and chew thoroughly. After you have swallowed and your mouth is empty, take another bite and follow the same procedure. It takes approximately 20 minutes for a signal to be sent from the stomach to the brain saying that it is full. Take advantage of that time frame by eating slowly and you will end up eating fewer calories. Step 2 Drink water before your meals. Water is a vital nutrient that the body cannot go without. To prevent yourself from eating so much, drink a full glass of water right before your meals. This can create the illusion that you are full and you will not eat as much food. Also drink water while you are eating. Step 3 Eat more meals a day. Eating a small meal every 2 to 3 hours throughout the day can do a number of things. It can keep your appetite under control, give you sustained energy levels and increase your metabolism. Because you are eating meals often, you will be less prone to eat too much. Make these meals a balance of quality protein and complex carbs that are high in fiber.

The first step is to realise the reason why you're eating so much! Is it a hunger, or some other emotional reason? I know that I can be an emotional eater at times, which isn't pleasant at all. Especially knowing what it could do to my weight and body image, which sucks. But the understanding helped me to know and understand that I was doing it out of sadness and as a way to cope. So I found other better coping mechanisms instead, those without the unpleasant side effects. And I feel that it helped me become happier in the process :)

It is not so much how to stop yourself from eating so much, as it is to balance what you eat. Personally, I have started to do more of the balancing and actually eat more than I did before. With balancing food, I was able to try new dishes and old ones with new twists. The trick is to find a way to balance and control the need to binge often, in addition to drinking plenty of water (even if it means to flavor it! e.g. mio). Do not stop eating! Just balance! :)

Slowly decrease your daily intake of food per day and soon you will be eating less also if you crave some chocolate only eat to squares instead of the whole bar

You have to deal with the real reason you're overeating- Be it you're not gettin the right mineral, your hormones are out of whack, you're super stressed out-deal with the underlying issue and you won't feel the need to keep eating. If you don't think it's stress, and you're over the age of 16, I would check in with your family doctor

Make a diet plan, work on it. Drink at least 8 glasses of water on daily level. Eat more fruit and vegetable when you are hungry.
