Tricks to Help You Moderate Your Eating

Plate your food in the kitchen

Yes, family-style platters look bountiful on the table, but they can also make it extra easy to help yourself to more food even when you are not actually that hungry. If you find that you're often tempted to take another bite or spoonful, try serving your meals already plated instead. You can still get up and take more from the kitchen if you really want to after you have given yourself time to let the fullness settle in. But you'll think twice before you do it.

Portion out your snacks

Put nuts in a small bowl (or plastic bag, if you are packing them to enjoy later) instead of noshing straight from the container. Cut a few slivers of cheese for yourself instead of setting out a big chunk. Portioning your snacks is a simple way to avoid accidentally overdoing it. And when you know exactly how much you have, you'll be more likely to eat slower and savor your food.

Measure your fats

It's easy to go overboard when you pour olive oil straight from the bottle. So when a recipe calls for it, grab your measuring spoon and use the exact quantity called for. You'll have enough to complement your dish, but it won't be more than you need.

Make half of your meal vegetables
Chances are eating a Mediterranean-style diet means you’re already bumping up your veggie consumption. So let them fill a full half of your plate. With vegetables taking up so much real estate, you’ll automatically have less space for foods that are easier to eat too much of—such as pasta or grains and proteins like fish, poultry, or meat.
