Trigger Foods
Foods that are easy to overeat and reduce control.
Trigger foods are the ones that make it hard to stop once you start eating. They are often highly rewarding and easy to consume quickly, which leads to higher intake without noticing. These foods vary from person to person, so it is important to identify your own patterns. Limiting exposure to them makes consistency much easier.
