Tips on How to Eat Less


1. Make sure you eat breakfast every day.

2. Share a single dessert.

3. When eating out, have a big vegetable salad, then split an entrée with a friend or have the other half wrapped to go.

4. Drink a glass of water 10 minutes before your meal to take the edge off your hunger.

5. Listen to music while you eat instead of watching TV (people tend to eat more while watching TV).

6. Eat slowly. It takes 20 minutes for your stomach to send a signal to your brain that you’re full.

7. Teaspoons, salad forks, or child-size utensils may help you take smaller bites and eat less.

8. Make less food look like more by serving your meal on a salad or breakfast plate.

9. Make a list before you go to the store. Don’t groceries shop on an empty stomach?

10. Try not to snack while cooking or cleaning the kitchen.
