With the challenge of lockdown for Melburnians most of us are resorting to endlessly walking to the fridge and snacking – either because we are hungry, or it’s become a habit.



Of course there are legitimate times when we open the fridge to fulfil our hunger but how many times do we open the fridge because we are not hungry but just purely out of boredom!



Here are a few tips to help you deal with this daily habit:

1. Before you open the fridge literally ask yourself “Am I really hungry”. Stop and drink a glass of water. If after 20 minutes you feel hungry then yes, you are hungry.

2. So, this becomes more of a mindful exercise, write or print today's post on a piece of paper to ask yourself this question when you’re about to open the fridge door.

3. Change the items that are in your fridge. Ensure you have only water and sparkling water in the fridge. Load your fridge with friendly healthy snacks – apples, pears, strawberries, carrots, celery sticks, roma tomatoes, sliced capsicum, cucumber, cottage cheese, greek yoghurt, Black Swan skinny tzatziki, extra-light Philly Spreadable, smoked salmon, grapes, Philadelphia cheese, smashed avocado, boiled eggs.
