how to train yourself to eat less
Here are some sneaky tips: 1  Buy smaller plates - your mind is conditioned to expect a plate full of food. 2  Go individual - if you fancy crisps, buy an individual bag. 3  Eat slowly - this gives your brain and stomach time to recognise when you are full. Chew each mouthful 20 times. Put your cutlery down while you chew and then pick it up again for the next mouthful. Drink water before meals - 20 minutes or so before you eat, drink a pint glass of water, as cold as possible.
