"I eat too much."
"I eat too much."
- Look at the serving sizes on packaged foods before you start eating.
- Fruits, vegetables, and whole grains are full of fiber which helps you to feel full and satisfied. Eat more fiber by making a few easy swaps:
- whole grain pasta instead of white pasta
- brown rice instead of white rice
- beans instead of meat (even just a few times a week)
- oatmeal or whole grain cereal instead of bagels or baked goods
- snack on nuts or use them as salad toppers instead of croutons
- Use smaller plates and cups. Your portion will appear larger than it is.
- Avoid eating straight from the bag. Pour a serving into a bowl.
- Avoid eating in front of the TV – it's been shown to make people eat more!
