Our Advice related to Eating Habits
Exercise portion control. The old expression "your eyes are bigger than your stomach" may be sage advice. Researchers have found that the more food you're served, the more you're likely to eat. The theory is that the environmental cues of portion size override the body's cues of satisfaction.
Avoid the buffet line. When there are lots of choices, most people eat more. Keep it simple, limit the number of courses, and fill up on high-fiber foods first.
A handful of nuts, some low-fat dairy, soy protein, or lean meat, fish, or chicken will tide you over for hours.
Starting a meal with a large salad can help you eat fewer calories during the meal because of the fiber and water content of greens and vegetables.
