Three easy tips to eat less

Not only the food on your plate, but also the surroundings decide how much you will eat. Here are three easy tips for eating a bit less:

• Turn off the tv while eating. When you are distracted while eating, by the tv for examaple, your brain has more trouble recognizing the signals of your body that indicate that you have eaten enough.
• Eat sitting down. The preparations you make for eating while seated, like setting the table and putting all the food on it, give you the impression that you are eating more than you really are. The result is that you will eat less in your next meal. Canadian researchers estimate that you will eat up to one third less.
• Have a notepad within reach to write down what you eat within a day. Only describe the sizes of the portions and not the ingredients. It works as a reminder at the end of the day to determine how much you have eaten that day.
