Put leftovers away immediately. Do not eat a full meal before bed. This is the easiest way for your body to store fat. However, bedtime snacks such as a cup of nonfat yogurt will not get you in trouble. Use smaller dishes.
Big dishes equate to big servings.
Never get seconds. When we eat too fast, our bodies are unable to inform us we are full until it is too late. People who do not eat breakfast will make up those calories later in the day and have less time to burn them off. Snack on fresh fruit. Apples and oranges are healthy, filling, and go anywhere.
