How to stop yourself from snacking on bad foods by only eating them away from home.

Only eat the bad stuff away from home. This makes it much more likely that you will not binge on the food. If you have a limited serving of say ice cream at a store, you stop with one scoop. It is much easier to go to your own freezer than down the street to the ice cream store and much less likely that you will do it.

Also, without you favorite treat staring at your from your cabinet or freezer, you are much less likely to be tempted by it.

To learn more about healthy eating, try reading The 3-Hour Diet Cookbook by Jorge Cruise.

You: On A Diet: The Owner's Manual for Waist Management is another great resource for diet and exercise tips.

1Harder to eat like a pig in public
It is difficult to sit there and eat a container of ice cream in public. This is a good rule to keep from over eating.

2No Food in My Car!
My rule: NO FOOD IN MY CAR! Makes it difficult to get fast food. Combined with this tip. To get Ice-Cream I would have to drive to the store, eat it there and then come home. That sounds too hard. Forget the ice cream.

3Eat Treats on Friday Night only
It is too easy to get snacks away from home. Fast food, vending machines, etc. Especially if you spend most of your time away from home. Let yourself splurge, but only one night a week.

4Use Snacks as a Reward
I don't keep snacks in the house. Only the good stuff. The store is a few miles away. I am only allowed a snack if I walk for it. I also must eat it there. Never bring anthing back.

5Make it hard to eat the wrong foods
I make myself and my kids pay for unhealthy snacks. They are not forbidden, but they will cost a big chunck of allowance. When you have to think about what you will loose, it makes it easier to let that snack go.
