5.Use Smaller Bowls and Plates
The size of your dishes and utensils gives your brain cues about how much you’re “supposed” to eat — and a bigger dish means more food. In one study, people at a Chinese buffet who got a large plate served themselves 52% more food, and ate 45% more, than those with smaller plates.
6.Hit the Pause Button Before Giving in to a Craving
Eating because you’re bored, tired, or tense can make you feel out of control. Try to delay the urge to graze. When a craving hits, do something else for 5 to 10 minutes, then see if you still want to eat. Chances are, the urge will have faded, at least a little.
