Mindless eating occurs most frequently after dinner, when you sit down at the end and relax.
"Sit down with a bag of chips or cookies in front of the TV is an example of eating amnesia, where you can eat mindlessly without being hungry, but out of habit," says a spokesman for the American Dietetic Association Malena Perdomo, RD.
Either close down the kitchen after a certain hour, or allow yourself a snack low calorie, such as a package of calories 100 - cookies or scoop half a cup of low-fat ice cream. When you find that you're usually satisfied and low-cal snack, try a cup of tea zero calorie, suggests Perdomo.
