how to eat less
Use smaller plates: A partially full plate looks like a skimpy meal, regardless of the actual quantity of food.
Serve yourself 20% less: Eat 80% of the food you normally eat.
Eat protein for breakfast: Only breakfasts high in protein have been proven to suppress appetite and reduce subsequent eating.
Eat three meals a day: Eating more than three meals a day has not been shown to have any benefit.
Keep snacks out of sight: People eat a lot more when food is visible.
Chew thoroughly: Slow down, chew each bite.
Don’t eat from the package: Use a plate or a bowl or even a napkin.
Don’t eat in front of the TV: Distracted eating is overeating.
Don’t pay attention to health claims: Truly healthy food - vegetables, fruits and other unprocessed foods, rarely have labels. Foods with health claims tend to be processed junk.
