Buying food in bulk
It’s been found that the more we buy the more we eat, scientists found at Cornell University , that when people buy large quantities of food they can tend to eat, more food within the first eight days of buying the bulk purchase of food. Only when the quantity of food tends to get lower, then we will tend to eat less.
Not taking notes
It’s very easy to underestimate the amount of food that you're eating, and the amount of exercise that you are doing as well in relation to each other, it's a good idea to make note’s of both. Either use paper and pen, or create a document on your computer, studies have shown that when you record what you are doing, you will get far better results.
Take note who you associate with, friends and family
Surprisingly enough this is something we don't even think about, if you're a single person on your own for instance and you are happy eating your soups and salad’s and generally eating healthily. And then one day you decide to move in with your partner and share a house, and he wants to eat meat and three veg, followed by a sticky pudding.
The chances are that if he is overweight/obese then there is the possibility that you may end up the same way. A study which was conducted by the New England Journal of Medicine confirmed that, our risks of becoming obese can increase by a figure of 37 percent if our partners are overweight, and if our friends are overweight/obese then that figure goes up to 57 percent.
