Stage 1 of the ACE Weight Loss Methodology is Awareness.

Become aware of and start to cut out eating when you are not hungry.

While there are lots of reasons we eat when we aren't hungry, many of the reasons are just habits.

You can cut out your habit eating to lose weight without physical hunger..

The 4 Cs of habit eating are:

1. Clock.
Stop eating because it’s a certain time of day if you are never hungry then.

2. Calendar. You don’t have to gorge yourself just because it’s a certain day of the year. “Halloween candy” is available year round at the grocery store and gas station.

3. Company. It’s ok to gently tell mom that a certain food that was your favorite when you were 4 isn’t your thing any more (maybe try to tell her before she fixes it, though).

4. Clean Plate Club. Real talk, plates were smaller then. Put your leftovers in the fridge. It’s fine.

Stopping your habit eating is a great way to lose weight without going hungry.
