Tips to Eat Less:


  • Be a Label Reader: Any food that comes in a bag or box must have a food label. Read it and look for the proper serving size and use that as a guide. Use care because manufacturers are not above using trickery. Statistics for ½ a cookie, or sausage are common. No one eats half a cookie. If a product has ingredients that you do not recognize or chemicals, do not buy it. Look for a different, healthier choice.



  • Serve Restaurant Style Meals:These are meals that you plate yourself with proper portions. Serving dishes are not placed on the table. If your favorite food is right in front of you, it's easy to overeat. Save the extra food for leftovers or lunch meals. This can save you money and end the fast food lunch habit.


  • Downsize your Dinnerware or Use Salad Plates: Plates from the 1950's were 9 to 10 inches in size. Many of you use 12 inch plates, which have almost 50% more surface area to cover with food. Eat from a full 10 inch plate and wait 20 minutes before you reach for seconds. It takes your body 20 minutes to register being full.


  • Limit Processed Foods:These foods usually lack fiber, are full of fillers, chemicals, cheap ingredients, dyes, sugar, salt, corn syrup, and should be limited. Many of them cause cravings, and you eat more. Purchase real foods, which do not need a food label, and learn to cook from scratch at home. The payoff will be delicious healthy meals.
