Restricted eating backfires

When you're tempted by delicious food like paneer tikka, go for a smaller portion instead of skipping it entirely. Avoid overly restricting yourself.

Use a smaller plate

Use a smaller plate to make your portion look bigger and help prevent you from adding too much on your plate and overeating.

Use measuring cups

These cups provide a standardized way of measuring your food portions, taking the guesswork out of the equation.

Eat slowly

It requires around 20 minutes for your stomach to tell your brain you are full. Eating slowly helps you recognize this signal and prevents overeating.

Avoid eating leftovers

Don't feel obliged to finish everything on your plate. Consider preparing smaller portions or incorporating leftovers into upcoming meals.
