Marianne: 'How do you ensure you don't eat too much?'
1. Drink two glasses of water before meals
Water helps you feel fuller right away, so you're less likely to overeat and consume excess calories.
2. Tailor your menu to your daily activity level
On lighter days, go for a fresh salad. Feeling more active? Opt for a heartier meal or indulge in a well-deserved treat like dessert or wine—it tastes even better when earned!
3. Stop when the food tastes incredible
This simple habit prevents that uncomfortable, overstuffed feeling.
4. Enjoy a warm meal in the afternoon
Stick to sandwiches or healthy snacks at noon and evening. A substantial lunch fuels your afternoon activities and digests fully before bedtime.
