Eating one piece of fruit could help you eat healthier all week. If you eat it right BEFORE you go grocery shopping! Researchers from Cornell University found shoppers who had eaten an apple beforehand bought 28% more produce than cookie-eaters. They also bought less junk food. The explanation is simple: Once you eat a healthy snack, your subconscious guides you to STAY on a healthy path, with almost zero effort. But remember, the trick only works if you eat fruit right BEFORE you shop.

Why do we eat so much when we’re stressed?
Because we can’t taste things as well! Now, 90% of us admit to stress eating – but stress suppresses our ability to taste. So we eat more – trying to taste our food! So when you’re stressed, reach for something spicy or strong tasting, like a pickle. Or, relax first without food. Take a walk, calm down, and when you eat, your taste buds will be functioning more normally and you’ll eat less.

The thing that ruins our diet is daily snacking.

On any given day, our snacking contributes to over 30% of the calories we take in – totaling over 900 calories, on average. But there may be a simple solution… Drink black tea. The antioxidants in tea keep blood sugar stable. And when our blood sugar levels remain steady, our hunger hormones don’t spike, so we’re less likely to snack! Black tea also stabilizes our stress hormones – so we’re less likely to soothe our stress with food. To get the best results, drink 3 cups of black tea a day.

Got the urge for a late-night snack? Stop and think first.

Here’s something to keep in mind when a late-night snack attack strikes. The food we eat fuels the hours ahead…Not the hours that have passed. So even if you haven’t eaten all day – and you make a big plate of pasta at 9pm at night – unless you’re staying up and being active for the next 5 or 6 hours, you won’t burn as much of it for fuel and you’re more likely to gain weight. So we want to do the majority of our eating when we’re active…That way, we’ll process the food we eat most efficiently. So when you eat, matters as much as what you eat.

Going to sleep at the same time every night will stop your food cravings in their tracks.

Brigham Young University found that people who went to bed and woke up at the same time each day were significantly slimmer than people with inconsistent sleep schedules. That’s because an erratic sleep schedule prompts changes in the brain that not only cause it to pump out more hunger hormones– those brain changes trigger cravings whenever you see images of food. So go to bed at the same time every night to get rid of your out-of-control food cravings.

Then keep this in mind from Dr. Mark Hyman – author of “Ultra-Metabolism”…
Stop eating 3 hours before bed. Our metabolism slows down while we sleep, and shifts from fat burning to fat storing. So that midnight snack stays with you a loooong time.
