Tips to Eat Less

These simple tips can help you avoid eating more than you want:  (from Mayo Clinic)

• Select smaller bowls, plates, and spoons for serving and eating — Research has shown that people unconsciously eat more food when it's served in or eaten from larger dishes.
• Get rid of high-calorie foods or leftovers; store them in an inconvenient location or in opaque containers — Seeing a food item can trigger you to eat it. Plus, easy-to-reach food in a kitchen cabinet is more readily eaten than is food in a basement pantry. Exploit these phenomena by placing healthy, low-calorie foods within sight and easy reach.
• Buy small packages and serve or order smaller quantities — Larger packages or larger portions often lead people to eat more than they would have if the serving or package were smaller
