Simple Tips to Avoid Over Eating…

Slow down, chew with purpose: Take at least 20 minutes to
consume a meal. Taking longer to eat will make you feel as
though you are eating more. Enjoy and savor the food.

Eat only while sitting down: Much extra food in consumed on
the run. Making it a point to sit down while eating will
help you think about how much you are consuming.

Eat off smaller plates.

Drink a 12 ounce glass of water before eating: It will take
up room in your stomach and make you feel less hungry.

Wait 10 minutes before snacking: Between meal snacks are
usually impulsive acts. A wait before eating them will often
make you realize you aren’t hungry after all.

Keep the right stuff up front: Make such foods as fruit and
vegetables readily available by keeping them in the front of
the refrigerator shelves.
