Smaller portions
Not in front of the TV
Am I really hungry?
Choose the low-fat foods from your plate first
Kitchen where you sit down at a table is a good place to eat
Sit down, slow down, savor and enjoy!
- Choose smaller plates to help you control your portion size. The size of your fist is a good determination of serving size.
- Don't eat while you are focused on watching TV, you will mindlessly eat without regard to how much you are eating!
- As yourself are you REALLY hungry or does it just look good and your afraid there will not be anything left over to eat later. If that's the case set a small portion aside for yoursel for a later time when your are actually hungry!
- Eat the healthy food from your plate first! That way once you get to the high fat, high calorie foods you are full and will eat less.
- Eat sitting down at a table and not while distracted.
- Slow down when you eat and chew your food. Scarfing your food down is not good for your digestion and you are likely to eat more if you are rushed.
