    Another 'trick' is just chewing your food more! In our fast living world we don't take our time to chew our food. Currently I am on a treatment in a health resort where they teach the importance of chewing your food properly. Yes, it works, I automatically eat less and I'm full. Often enough I can't finish my meal.
    My mother used to say: "Our stomach doesn't have teeth" so we have to do the work :)

      Surely if you chew your food more then you will get hungrier quicker?? The food will have a higher surface area to volume ratio meaning that enzymes can digest your food quicker. Surely that will lead to your food being digested quicker and leading you to have an empty stomach and hungry again??

    1) Down size yr plate, the portion
    2) Choose darker colour plate/ bowl
    3) Drink taller glasses water/liquid
    4) Dont eat from a packet/ divide portion
    5) Drink water b4 food/ sometimes u r thirsty not hungry
    6)Keep triggered food out of sight
    7) Leave food on the plate
    8) Portion control
    9) Divide yr meal at restaurant/ take half home
    10) Mindful eating/ dont eat in front of TV etc
    Im going to put myself to test..try 1 wk of this rules at a time. Taking each day day by day until it becomes my habit. Portion control is my problem.

      I do No. 3, 4, 5, 9 & 10 always. Still a working progress. No I eat food until I feel full mindfully. I just make sure I move more. Do more exercise a lot during this Lockdown. Either cycling, running or walking combined with home exercise HIIT, body combat or body pump! 2 or 3 exercises per day. Weight wise, not lighter just more toned!

    • @jenniferw9145
      @jenniferw9145 8 років тому +48

      The taller cup has the same volume as the shorter wider one, it just looks like there's more in it, it's to trick your brain into thinking there's more food/drink than there actually is, thus helping you feel fuller

    I love these hacks, thankyou! my favourite is dividing up your plate when you eat out. It's such as problem now in western countries. I eat more food when I'm at restaurants/cafes and I feel pressure to eat everything off my plate. Also the desserts are enormous.
    I've found another tip, if it's possible, is to order an entree size meal for your main meal., for example "calamari and salad," "soup", "oysters", "fish cakes". This depends of course on the entree meals though- e.g no point if the entree meals are "bowl of chips", " crackers and dip", etc.

    Another good tip is to prepare your meals for the week. On Sundays, I go grocery shopping and then make breakfast, lunch, and dinner for Monday - Friday. That way it's already portioned out properly and i don't eat out (saves both wallet and waistline). Also, it's very convenient and saves time during the week!

    The drinking water thing has really helpful. I used to snack a lot whenever I was bored or something, but since I got a personal water bottle, I just keep it by me a lot. It helped a lot with cravings, and I drank much more water than usual by needing to refill it a lot :)

    I learned the small plate trick from my health teacher when she lectured us on diets and disorders. Where I live, our culture is very loose on portion control, so once you start using smaller plates your family will definitely notice. They might poke fun but don't mind it.

There are a few mistakes in the closed-captions and I just wanted to point that out. I hope you will be able to fix it so that your video can be enjoyed by everyone :) Here are a few closed-caption mistakes that were present.
    "Joanna" instead of "Jonah" at 0:05
    "are habit based" instead of "a habit base" at 0:19
    "eat less" not "it last" at 0:26
    "food hacks" not "foot hacks" at 0:31
    "eating less" not "eating last" at 0:34
    "these bowls" not "these balls" at 0:44
    "pile on" not "pull on" at 0:51
    "amount of rice" not "amount of rights" at 1:09
    "dark plate" not "dark played" at 1:15
    These are just a few that I caught. I hope you will be able to fix it so the 360 million folks globally who rely on closed captions can understand your video. Thank you!!! :)) Keep up the good work!

    I am always suprised when I go out to eat now because I cook at home and have been making smaller portions and doing great. At the restaurant they serve so much food and I feel like I must eat it. .
