Here are some quick steps to help you avoid overeating:
1 Eat high fiber fruits and vegetables. Fibrous foods will help you feel fuller without added saturated fat.
2 Try not to eat out of a box or package or while you are preoccupied with something else. Serve yourself a specific portion and eat slowly - start off by having a thankful mindset - I say grace - give yourself a relaxed time and enjoy your food. It takes about 20 minutes for the stomach to signal that the brain is full.
3. Don't skip meals. Skipping meals makes sets you up for a starvation mode and you'll end up eating more than what you should at one sitting.
4. When you are done, you're done. Don't eat your child's leftovers just to "finish" and not "waste food".
5. Walking outdoors after a meal is a great way to digest and set a mindset of satisfaction for the rest of the day.
