Bad Habit #2 – Filling Your Plate
Do you fill your plate entirely with large portions of food?
If so, you are setting yourself up to eat more than your body needs because you will feel compelled to eat everything you took. Instead, try using a smaller plate, or simply take half of the portion sizes you normally would.
You may be surprised to note that you feel satisfied eating these smaller portions, just not “stuffed” like usual.
Even better, if you combine the above tip with this one and eat very slowly, it should take the same amount of time to eat half the amount of food – creating the illusion that you consumed your normal portion sizes.
