1. If you eat in front of the TV or on the go, only take with you the portion you intend to eat. Put one serving of chips on a plate, don't take the whole bag with you to your chair.
2. If you enjoy going back for seconds, only take a 1/2 portion on the first serving. Then enjoy going back for seconds, taking only another 1/2 portion.
3. When eating for one, make and put your servings on your plate then put the food and ingredients away before you sit down to eat.
4. Read the labels. A good snack serving is 100-140 calories. Take less of your snack if necessary. Begin replacing higher calorie snacks that only let you get a taste of them with lower calorie snacks that allow you to enjoy more.
5. Begin replacing less nutritious snacks with those that pack more nutrition in them per calorie. Alternate your favorite less desireable snacks with more nutritious alternatives and make a note about how you feel afterwards. A few bites of chocolate cake for 10 baby carrots. Which one makes you feel more energized?
