How do you stop yourself from overeating? I thought about getting portion control plates. My eyes are always too big for my stomach.

Re: Advice

What helps me is knowing that my stomach has a 10 minute delay. So after I finish eating something, I wait 10 minutes to see if I'm satisfied, or if I could eat a little more. This doesn't always work, but any little bit less is always helpful.

Smaller plates and bowls that force me to only take one serving at a time, and then trying really really hard to be mindful and not go back for seconds (or thirds etc). The second part is the hardest.

Also I keep minimal food in the house. I basically shop one week at a time. If its not in the house, I can't eat it!

Small plates and not buying stuff that I know I’ll binge eat. The last one’s a little hard though, especially if the goodies are on sale.

It's harder to do if you live with others, but if there's a particular food/product you know you can't resist, don't bring it into your home.

Re: Advice

When I make a meal I serve myself one serving and then immediately put the rest away. The trick for me is keeping that first serving an appropriate size.

Choose more proteins/fats and veggies vs carbs. Learn to prepare meals that are going to be flavorful and satisfying. Try not to do distracted eating - such as eating while watching TV/reading a book/scrolling phone. Just focus on the eating. Eat slow, train yourself to savor what you're eating. Chew up the food before you swallow. Make sure you drink water with your meal (unless there is a medical issue or something).

If none of the above is helpful, those portion control plates could work too.

Eat less but more often. I’m doing this for the second time in 20 years and the results are just as good as the first time. I eat all day long. I have a piece of fruit or some (real) oatmeal first thing in the morning. I snack on grapes or green beans or celery for the next hour then have a hard boiled egg. More snacking until lunch, which is my largest meal of the day. I have a salad or a sandwich or soup. I include a starch, usually homemade air fries if I have a sandwich, otherwise I’ll have a little brown rice or couscous prepared with half water and half chicken broth. Sometimes I’ll chase it down with something that’s pure junk, like a dark chocolate bar. Through the afternoon I have 2-3 pieces of fruit, and dinner is pretty much like lunch. I’ll snack on more veggies until it’s 2 hours until bedtime and then I don’t eat anything else.

This part is easier said than done: try to avoid added sugar. If you do take in any sugar, avoid HFC at all costs. Natural sugars from fruit don’t hit the same and you might have a couple days of your body screaming out for sugar; ride it out.

I am an extremely picky eater and there are probably less than 30 things in the world I like eating. Most of them I can’t have either because of trying to lower my caloric intake or because of new food allergies. Eating all day just from the limited selection I enjoy is actually really pleasing for me, I think because a lot of the foods go together naturally plus it feels like a lot of variety because within a day, it is.

In my case, everything is homemade because of a severe and far reaching allergy, so lunch and dinner are dependent on what I have prepared recently. I do a ton of batch cooking. I roast chickens and save the carcasses to make stock that I can. When I first started doing all of this, it was so time consuming! With some practice and planning, I can dedicate one day every other week to cooking and not have to worry about it again for two weeks. I do make bread every few days and still have to wash and prep fruit and veg every 4-5 days but those don’t take much time. I have a bread maker so it only takes me five minutes to toss everything in and press two buttons.

If I figure it out I'll let you know.

But until then I've started mindlessly screen-eating spinach leaves instead of potato chips. It's not like I notice what I'm eating much anyway.

Kale chips you bake in the oven are particularly nice!
