Four types of eaters.., which are you?

If you ever cheated on a diet, then you are probably guilty of self-sabotage. More than 40% of dieters have trouble sticking to a plan.

Here are the four most common weight-loss offenses to show you how to break free from the yo-yo diet.


1.The Night Eater: You consume more than half of your daily calories after 6 p.m., you are not hungry for breakfast and lunch the next day, causing your blood sugar to crash and you metabolism to slow down.



The solution: Eat every four hours, even if you are not hungry, try to have 300 calories for breakfast to give you the energy to get through the day. Avoid eating in front of the T.V.





2. The Social Snacker: Whether is chocolate cake at the a.m meeting from a co-worker's birthday to the Doritos the girls sitting next to you at class, you just can't say no to food in social situations.




The solution: Focus your goals, in a little piece of paper write down how much you want to lose weight, so every time there is food in front of you you'll pull that piece of paper to remind yourself about it.



3. The All-or-Nothing Dieter: When you have time, you stock the fridge with produce, lean protein and low-fat dairy. But as soon as life gets busy you order take out.



The solution: Instead of cooking one piece of chicken breast, cook five and store them in the fridge that way is easy to just heat them up. If you definitely can hit the stove, circle healthy options on your take-out menus.








4. The Healthy Eater: You eat the right things, yet, you see not results? I know plenty of overweight vegetarians.



The solution: Slow down, watch you portions. When dinning out ask you waiter to pack half of the meal in a doggie-bag, that way you wont eat it all.




Missthinwallet advise: Print out your grocery list so all you have to do is circle the heatlthy items. Put sticky notes in the mirror with messages to hit the Gym. Don't procrastinate.
