7 Surprising Ways In Which You Are Eating More Than You Realize!
If you feel like your pants are getting tighter lately, even though you think that you haven't been overeating, then, think again!
Because, many a time, we could be consuming a lot of food or calories, without even realizing that we have been doing that!
As we know, overeating, whether it is done knowingly or unknowingly, can have adverse health effects.
Firstly, the most obvious negative effect of overeating is weight gain which could lead to being overweight or obese.
As we know, obesity and having excess body fat is the root cause of a number of serious health conditions.
Apart from that, overeating can also cause high cholesterol, high blood pressure, heart diseases, joint pain, diabetes, depression, infertility, certain types of cancers, etc.
So, it is very important to have a healthy, balanced diet and to learn how to eat mindfully, by being aware of what and how much you are eating.
Many a time, even if we have made up our minds to eat healthily and avoid overeating, it could happen without us realizing it!
So, here are a few surprising ways in which you could be overeating, without your knowledge!
1.
You
Are
Very
Social
2.
You
Don't
Cook
At
Home
3.
You
Feel
"Health"
Foods
Are
Really
Healthy
4.
You
Reward
Yourself
After
Exercise
5.
You
Don't
Pay
Attention
To
Portion
Sizes
6.
You

7.
You
Eat
Too
Fast
1. You Are Very Social
Humans are social animals and it is important to have a healthy social life. However, if you are someone who is extremely social and you like to meet people more than once a week, it could mean, get-togethers, meals outside with friends, and alcohol sessions.
So, when this happens often, you could be consuming more calories while hanging out with your friends, without even realizing it!
2. You Don't Cook At Home
These
days,
most
people
have
busy
jobs
and
hectic
schedules
which
could
prevent
them
from
having
enough
time
to
prepare
healthy
meals,
so
people
end
up
eating
out
a
lot.
Even
if
you
eat
out
just
once
or
twice
a
day,
it
could
have
a
huge
impact
on
your
weight,
because
the
ingredients
used
to
prepare
food
at
restaurants
usually
contain
high
amounts
of
fats
and
sugars.
3. You Feel "Health" Foods Are Really Healthy
Most
of
us
may
have
heard
of
energy
drinks,
energy
bars,
low-calorie
foods,
fat-free
foods,
sugar-free
foods,
etc.,
which
have
become
popular
among
weight
watchers
today.
Many
people
believe
that
these
foods
actually
have
really
fewer
calories
and
fats,
when
in
reality,
they
do
contain
high
amounts
of
calories.
So
they
tend
to
indulge
in
them,
without
guilt!
This
may
lead
them
to
overeat
these
"health"
foods,
adding
excess
weight
to
their
body!
4. You Reward Yourself After Exercise
As we know, exercise is an important part of our daily routine, along with a healthy diet, if we want to maintain a healthy weight and avoid diseases. Many people who exercise have this habit of rewarding themselves with unhealthy foods after they exercise, because they feel that they have burnt a lot of calories at the gym.
This can also cause overeating and weight gain, as some of the junk foods have way more calories than what an average person burns at the gym!
5. You Don't Pay Attention To Portion Sizes
Even
if
you
are
eating
healthy
foods
consisting
of
proteins,
healthy
fats,
greens,
etc.,
it
is
very
important
to
pay
attention
to
the
portion
sizes
that
you
are
consuming.
If
you
serve
bigger
portions
of
food,
without
being
aware
on
a
daily
basis,
then
it
could
cause
over-eating
and
all
the
health
issues
associated
with
it.
So
it
is
important
to
talk
to
your
dietician
and
fix
portion
sizes
apt
for
your
health.
6. You Like Variety
A
recent
research
study
conducted
in
California
stated
that
people
who
like
to
consume
different
varieties
of
food
at
one
meal
tend
to
overeat
without
realizing,
compared
to
people
who
stick
to
one
type
of
dish
per
meal.
So
if
you
are
someone
who
likes
to
order
a
variety
of
different
dishes
when
you
go
out,
or
if
you
go
to
buffets
often,
you
could
be
overeating
without
realizing,
because
you
have
to
eat
every
variety
you
have
ordered,
which
is
a
lot
of
calories!
7. You Eat Too Fast
If you are someone who has the habit of eating food too fast, there is a chance that you could be consuming more food without realizing, because the food on your plate gets over fast!
A research study conducted by the University Of Rhode Island in 2011 found that people who eat fast consume 33% more food that people who eat with average pace!
