How to prevent myself eating too much

Michelle, your Nutrition & Fabulous Body Coach
April 20, 2009

Are you prone to eating too much during the day?

Nobody wants to feel like they’re starving themselves but on the other hand, we all know that eating too much equals too many calories, which equals more body fat!

There are ways to trick yourself into eating less:

  • Slow down.  Really take the time to savour the taste and the aromas.  Take your time and enjoy!
  • Use a smaller plate or bowl.  This gives the impression you are eating more than you really are.
  • This one is a biggy – never, EVER eat straight from a multi-serve packet or container.  Take out what you want to eat and put it into a separate dish (or it could even be a handful), and put the packet or container back.  How many times have you sat down with a family sized packet of M&M’s to find you’ve eaten the entire thing??!!
  • When shopping, avoid (as much as possible) buying non-supportive foods. Whole foods fill you up a lot quicker than high sugar/high fat/processed foods.
  • Keep a food diary and write down everything you eat each day.  This will encourage you to really think about what you put into your mouth.
