1. Use a smaller plate for proper portion size
We are often tempted to eat our plate completely empty when in fact we are no longer hungry. By using a smaller plate, first of all, you will scoop up less, and in addition, it will look like your plate is fuller making you feel like you are eating a lot anyway.
2. Start every meal with a glass of water
Drinking a glass of water before your meal can help you lose weight. First, if you drink a glass of water before starting your meal, you will already be a little fuller. This will make you feel less hungry and less scooped and thus have a smaller portion size. And ... therefore eat less. In addition, dehydration causes you to be tempted to eat more. So by properly hydrating yourself, you will also be less likely to overeat.
3. Eat quietly and with your mind at ease
It takes a while for your body to absorb the food and for you to feel full. Therefore, it is important to eat slowly so that you notice at the right time that you have had enough. Also, when you are watching TV or busy with something, you tend not to think about it by eating. So it is important that you are not distracted while eating so that you know exactly how much you can eat.
4. 20-minute rule for you portion size
Have you eaten your plate and don't think you've had enough yet? Then wait about 20 minutes before starting your next meal. Your brain needs about 20 minutes before it registers that you are full. Therefore, always lower your food first so you don't overeat.
5 Don't pick at left overs
Try to scoop only once and then put the pan away. When you leave the pan on the table you tend to take a few bites from it. Often you do not realize how much you are still eating and you have almost finished a second plate without realizing it.

6. Don't eat straight from the package
When you eat out of the package you tend to keep eating. You often don't know how much you've already had and what the portion size is so you often overeat. Always put your food in a container so that you can keep track of exactly how much you have eaten and that you also stop when the container is empty and you have not suddenly finished a whole bag of chips.
