HABITS WITHOUT DEPRIVING YOURSELF?

when you have already had the right amount of food. It will
also allow you to feel full afterwards, helping you eat less.
• Eating a lot of fruits and vegetables and with a broth – based
soup as a starter will help you feel fuller.
• Making use of smaller plates helps to moderate the portion
of your foods, without the food actually appearing less in
portion.
• Drinking at least 8 glasses of non – caloric
beverages per day will help you feel full,
making it more feasible for you to eat less.

smaller ones will help you avoid
overeating.

have a problem and decide that you really want to change.
• Incorporate exercise into the program. Choosing enjoyable
activities, places, time, equipment, and friends to work out
with will help you get motivated.
• Avoid automatic eating. Many people associate certain daily
activities with eating for example cooking, watching
television or reading. Most foods consumed in these
situations lack nutritional value or are high in sugar and fat.
• Stay busy. People tend to eat more when they sit around and do nothing.
• Try “junior size” instead of “super size”. People who are served larger portions eat
more, whether they are hungry or not. Use smaller plates, bowls, cups, and glasses.
• Eat slowly and at the table only. Eating at the table encourages people to take time
out to eat and deters snacking between meals. After eating do not sit around the
table but rather, clean up and put away the food to avoid snacking.
• Cut unnecessary items from your diet. Substituting water for a daily can of soda
would cut calories from your diet.
• Do not serve more food than you should eat. Measure food in portions and keep
serving dishes away form the table.
• Think positive. Avoid negative thoughts about how difficult changing past
behaviours might be. Instead thing of the benefits you will reap, such as feeling,
looking, and functioning better, plus enjoying better health and improving the
quality of life.
