Snacks taste good because they are satisfying the desire to fulfill the habituation.

Being free of the snacks would be so good, it would mean you have control over your system fuel.
Like with windows and Linux, windows you let some corporation control aspects of your system, and with linux you control it yourself.
Stopping the snacks is no loss, it's a win.

Hello,

I offer here the first of my health tips. If they seem to be of interest I will add more threads over time.
My hope is at least 1 person finds this useful for themselves, a family member, or a friend.

Portion Size

When sitting to eat your main meal of the day, take an apple with you.
You need the apple at the table near to you , or if using a tray or lunchbox on the tray with your meal.

1/ Immediately after swallowing your last mouthful of your meal begin to eat the apple, as if it were the next mouthful of your meal. No 5 minute breaks allowed.
2/ You MUST eat all of the apple,  do NOT take your tray away, plate away or move from your seat until you have eaten the apple.

NB: I personally use the apple as desert.

Results

If you feel -

a/ very bloated soon after completing the apple, your portion sizing is too big and you need in future to reduce it.

b/ very hungry /hollow feeling soon after completing the apple, your portion sizing is too small and you need to increase it.

To Do

Increase or decrease your portion size, and this will vary upon the particular type of meal until you have educated yourself as to your exact requirements of portion size and meal type.

Considerations

An individual may with some foods feel hollow even though it is a portion size they usually eat, if this persists after 1 hour they should eat something. THIS is not a failure, it is part of your learning about a healthy diet.
This would then be a time to consider what exactly the meal consisted of and why it was insufficient for your body, and how exactly it was unbalanced for you personally.

Concluding

The purpose of the apple eating is to learn to listen to your own body, and be able to determine what it is saying to you correctly.
Eating healthily is not a diet, it's about being as healthy as you can.

This method is successful in learning to decrease weight, increase weight, and to maintain stasis/balance.
It is also very useful when eating new recipes or foods as your portion sizes will vary and it can help you prevent weight gain, or loss, from the beginning in yourself and those around you.
