One of the major route to gaining weight is eating too much food. After the body uses what it needs, the excess food is stored in your body as fats.

The problem is, at times, we eat too much food without even knowing it. I have listed below, 3 habits that makes you eat excessively:

1. Being Stressed: When you are stressed, your body naturally looks for a relief and most times, this relief is in food, especially junk foods. This leads to increase in belly-fats and body fats eventually.

When you are stressed, find other ways to relief stress. You can take a break, take a stroll, chew a gum, listen to music, write down your to-do list in order of importance, etc.

2. Lack of Sleep: Night hour is the longest idle hour you can spend without eating. This is possible because you are asleep. Staying awake at night makes you hungry and stressed. The longer you are awake, the more stressed you are and the more excessively you eat, which in turn, leads to accumulation of fats.

Give your body adequate rest at night.

3. Eating and Watching TV: When you are watching TV, your brain is distracted and it does not realize when it needs to stop eating. You find that as long as the movie is rolling, you are eating something.

If you have this habit, bring out the portion of food you should eat before watching the TV.

Eating food and accumulating fats is easy, going on a diet and losing those excess fats is the challenge.
