Well, you got through the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays -- and probably targeted January and February as the months you would get your eating under control. And here comes Super Bowl Sunday, which will certainly be a day filled with tons and tons of food. Does it ever end?
Relax and don't give up. There are plenty of simple strategies to get you through this Sunday, and beyond, without going crazy:
1) Crack some nuts -- Researchers found that when you have to crack nuts, you eat about half as many than if you can just grab handfuls of nuts already out of the shells.
2) Put a fork in it -- Use your non-dominant hand to eat. You'll be more mindful of what you're putting in your mouth and will end up consuming less.
3) Portion your plate -- A quarter of your plate should be meat, whole grains should take up another quarter -- and fruits and vegetables should make up the rest.
4) Be an early bird -- A study has shown that late risers not only eat more calories (almost 200 more at dinner and another 375 after 8 p.m.) but also eat more unhealthily than those who wake up around 8 a.m.
