Once you start eating, it takes about 20 minutes for the stomach to tell the brain that you're full. The problem is, many of us eat so quickly that by the time our stomach has had the chance to send that message we've already put down more calories than we needed.
Here are a few ways to solve this problem: a) Drink a large (8 or 12 oz.) glass of water 20 minutes before each meal. b) Physically put your fork down between each bite. c) Enjoy your family. Have a discussion that stretches out the length of the meal. d) Serve the meal in courses, starting with a large salad.
