How To Reduce Food Noise
Are you struggling with constant thoughts around food whilst trying to lose a bit of fat? Not physically hungry, but always thinking about food? Here's how you can reduce that food noise.
What is food noise?
Food noise are those constant thoughts that you have about food, especially when you are trying to be in a calorie deficit on your health and fat loss expedition.
It can be so draining and mentally fatiguing to have the constant thoughts, and it can turn into a constant battle which can affect your calorie adherence.
So what now? How do you reduce those noises?
Below are several points that might help reduce your food noise:
1. Plan your meals in advance.
2. Don’t fully restrict your favourite foods.
3. Break the habit loop.
4. Manage your stress & sleep.
5. Manage and reduce potential triggers.
6. Seek professional help.
7. Eat more whole foods and protein, and stop skipping meals.

As mentioned, if you are constantly thinking about food it can be draining.
And you don’t want it to feel like a constant battle.
Try and figure out what triggers your food noise.
Is it because you are not eating enough and you are constantly hungry?
Is it because you haven’t planned your meals, so now you think about what to eat next all the time?
Maybe you follow recipe pages on social media?
It could be your food delivery app that sends you a notification.
Maybe you are fully restricting foods and now all you can think about are those exact foods.
Look at your environment for any potential triggers.
Look at how many calories you are currently eating. Is it enough?
Look at your meal frequency, are you eating 3 meals per day?
Look at your levels of restriction?
Look at how you label foods as either good or bad and change that.
Plan and prep your meals in advance so that you don’t always need to think about what to eat next.
Remove temptations from the house.
Don’t forget to watch the video linked above in this article. It will help give you a much better understanding and also help you identify where your food noise could be stemming from.
And once you know where it is stemming from, you can start working on reducing it.
