How to be a Smarter Eater

It is very easy to lose track of HOW MUCH we are eating, whether we are with others or going solo.



Did you know?


  • You are likely to eat more when you are eating with others. You may mimic eating habits of your companions. Faster eaters... beware you could continue eating until the others finish!!

  • The larger the plate, the more you eat

  • Having food infront of you causes you to eat more.

So how to be a Smarter Eater:



  • If you are at home - ask yourself "am I really hungry?" before start eating. If you are dining out with friends start chatting with your companions & sip on a glass of water / herbal tea / Low calorie drink

  • Use smaller-sized plates & bowls.

  • Keep your treats far away. Set your veggie dishes at the front & center on the table at dinnertime, and place high calorie dishes on the kitchen counter.
