I guess that you don't realise that you are doing it until it's too late? can't you get something that tastes horrid to put on your
nails - That way it will make you notice that you are doing it and hopefully stop?
Hypnotherapy might be worth a go - I don't see that you have a lot to lose

On the nail !! (pun)
"I guess that you don't realise that you are doing it until it's too late?"
normally, after a day at work, relax, beer, or a couple! and BAM,
"All the nails are gone, and the sky is grey"

Doesn't have to be boxing gloves. 
My Dad tried it (the hypnotherapy not the gloves thing) years ago, got him off the fags for a while.

You need to keep your hands busy, so you don't bite.
I think you should start smoking. You'd look really cool smoking.

The only hypnotherapy I know about is for people who stop smoking (and stage shows). It does have a remarkable success rate though, so it's
definitely worth a try.
I had a friend who tried the foul tasting nail varnish when she was a kid, she actually got to like the taste of it...

If you're anything like me, you do it when distracted or bored....do you have anything you could use to keep your fingers busy with instead?
e.g. keyring with puzzle on it....

I must have eaten too much cheese as a child as it hurts my teeth too much to bite my nails.
Take up fingertsyle guitar, you need the fingernails on the string hand to be long. Only downside is the fretting hand need them really short so it
would only stop you from biting one hand.

Every time you catch yourself doing it, punch yourself hard in the nethers. Tell others to do it if they see you doing it. You'll soon learn

My mum got something called 'bitter aloes' to put on my brothers nails, it is evil tasting, so might work.

Why not just cut and sand you nails back with a nail file so there is nothing to bite? Would take only a minute each day to do that, I have to keep
mine super short as they tear very easily which is very painful as they tear past the nail bed.

Get yourself a pair of nail clippers, trim your nails regularly and there will be nothing to bite.
