Opt for smaller plates and bowls to create the illusion of a full plate while reducing the actual amount of food you eat.
Invest in measuring cups and a kitchen scale to accurately portion your meals. This helps you become more aware of serving sizes and prevents overeating.
Pay attention to your hunger and fullness cues while eating. Eat slowly and savor each bite, allowing your body time to signal when it's satisfied.
Avoid eating from large containers/bags; portion out for better tracking. Mindful eating helps control consumption.
Drinking a glass of water before a meal can help you feel fuller, reducing the likelihood of overeating.
Fill half plate with veggies like greens, broccoli, peppers. Low-calorie, nutrient-rich, satisfying.
Choose water, herbal tea, or low-calorie drinks over soda, fruit juices, or alcohol. Reduce calorie intake.
If you enjoy snacks, portion them out into small containers or bags ahead of time. This prevents you from mindlessly munching on large quantities.
