  2. Eat In A Slow Pace.
    • You will definitely eat more if you eat at a fast pace. That is why you should slow down when you eat so that you allow your body to respond to cues, which can tell you that you are not hungry anymore.
  3. Focus On The Food When You Eat.
    • Make sure you are not distracted by any other type of digital gadget when you are eating. When you are less distracted, you would consume less and then savor the food more.
  4. Use Small Tableware.
    • Make sure to eat on smaller plates or even use narrow glasses so that you would consume less.
