As a nation, we are getting bigger and eating more. But there are effective ways to control your appetite and eat only as much as you need.
Keep away from low-nutrition snacks
That means ice cream, sweets, chips biscuits, cakes and any other salty or sugary snacks you eat between meals. Although we have a tendency to eat them, you can learn to live without these unhealthy-and-fattening-additions to your diet. Try to make it a habit to eat them only when offered at social events or as a special treat.
Leave half an hour between main course and dessert
Having a break between courses gives your brain time to receive the fullness signal and make you more likely to refuse the sweet stuff. And, in fact, as soon as you feel the first signals of fullness, remove your plate from the table. That will tell your brain that food time is over.
Make yours a small helping
Put an end to super-sized portions. You won't be missing out—today's small was the medium or large of a few decade ago. Select or serve yourself a modest portion and eat it slowly, enjoying the flavors. Before you know it, small will feel just right. What's more, ordering the smaller size leads to wearing the smaller size.
Distract yourself
When you find yourself hunting down food, even though you're even hungry, do something else for 20 minutes. Drink a large glass of water as thirst is often confused with a desire for food. Choose something that engages your brain as well as your hands, such as writing a letter or listening to a song. You could also go for a short walk or do something that you enjoy. If you think you really are hungry, set an alarm for 20 minutes'time and if you still want to eat when it rings, fine. If not, the urge will have passed.
