Are you frequently covered in crumbs? Do you partake, like a hobbit, in “second breakfast”? Fill up on these simple fixes
01 YOU’RE NOT EATING REGULARLY
Your mid-morning meeting pushed through lunch – and you’ve still got five hours to go before dinner. But eating less is good, right? Wrong. Research* shows that if you don’t take regular meals, you’re likely to eat more sugar, which is quickly digested, leaving you peckish.
The fix: Consistent meal times – no skipping. The same study found that breakfast curbs impulsive snacking. Your stomach takes around four hours to empty after a meal, so if you’re hungry before noon after an 8am breakfast, go for bigger portions.
