Nine Action Steps to Healthy Weight Management, Step 8
8. Complete a behavior inventory - One of the most useful steps in
managing weight is to complete a behavior inventory. Check your
habits for snacking, eating in response to hunger, and preparing
foods.
Snacks can be a part of your daily food plan but they need to be
planned carefully. Snack choices make a big difference in fat intake
if you select high fat snacks.
Determine how hungry you are when you eat. Delay eating if you are
not really hungry.
Lifelong weight management may depend on your cooking habits. Note
your style of cooking, determine if it leads to higher fat meals, and
adjust if necessary. Other things to look for in a behavior inventory
are your shopping skills and habits, your moods or feelings when you
eat, and the time and place in which you do most of your eating. If
any of these factors are excessive or affect your ability to manage
your weight, think how you can make some changes.
