Thats a really good idea! Right now I'm not overweight, but I am trying to break into the 6-pack abs arena (5-8% body fat), also just to improve my fitness. However, its been hard. I snack like crazy. Finally a strategy.
Also, I don't have a whole lot of motevation. When I was more fat, all I had to do was look at myself and be like, I gotta lose some weight. Now, its like, "eh, I look alright, I can eat that ice cream". Result: no 6 pack abs for Phatman.
Another strategy taht I have come across is to write your weight goal on your hand, and whenever you think about snacking, you will see that number and stop reaching. I have seen some wrestlers do this, and while they might not be the ideal model for weight loss (dehydration, laxitives, etc.) , some of their dieting tips are useful. I have yet to try this one, but it sounds good to me.
