The secret to long lasting health, a reduced appetite

How to reduce cravings and stop sticking food in your mouth.

The easiest way to stop overeating is to keep yourself busy.

Not the most profound insight I know but it can have profound results.

I remember I went to my first Manchester United match.

I was 15 and got the tickets as a Christmas present.

I was so excited. I remember arriving at the stadium. Seeing the statues in person, hearing the crowd..

I remember I walked up the steps into the stadium and the roar was out of this world.

The speed of the players, the roar of the crowd.

It was one of those events that I couldn’t take my eyes off.

I never wanted the game to end.

It was only  after the final whistle I realized I hadn’t ate since the boat that morning.

Adult Life

Adult life changes the dynamic. Everything outside of work revolves around the following.

Alcohol and Food.

Even at sports events like a football game you can be persuaded to the hot food stand.

You meet up with friends for a few drinks.

Cinema with your spouse has more calories than meal out.

Even days out with the children ends with food.

Modern life can feel like an alcoholic trying to stay sober while working in a pub.

The easiest way to stop yourself overeating.
