Habits persist without thought. In fact, habits persist because there is so little thought attached to them. Not engaging your brain in the behaviour is part of what makes it a habit. So, if you can ensure that you have to think every time you need food, you should be able to overcome your habitual eating.
Try the alphabet diet in which you use ingredients that are chosen alphabetically, following on from the last thing you ate. I don’t want to give you recipes, but you might start with avocado, beans and cheese, then for your next meal you could have duck, eggs and figs. I admit neither of these sound particularly appealing, but finding meals that are more to your taste will become a challenge and require even greater thought. Imagine going to the supermarket and having to fill your trolley with a week’s shop ending in x, y and z. There will be no aimless wandering around the aisles choosing whatever sweet treat takes your fancy.
Once you have gone through the alphabet once, you could try every second letter: anchovies, cabbage and edamame for one meal followed by grapes and ice cream for dessert. If you wanted a snack later, you could have a kiwi fruit. Having chosen food on every second letter, do it using every third and so on. Before you know it every meal, snack or treat will be a mental challenge and your eating a more considered activity.
