People Often Ask...

  • Start by figuring out if your overeating is something that happens just once in a while or often. We all eat too much every now and then, like on holidays. If you're overeating often, there are things you can do to take control. For example, managing hunger with regular meals and healthy snacks; not eating while doing something else, like homework; and slowing down to eat.
