Tricking Your Mind In To Eating Less

(KTVI) –  Jen McDaniel, The Diet Diva, has some tricks to help you eat less, or more, depending on the situation.

CUT UP – Cutting single serving foods into pieces before digging in could help you feel more satiated and lead you to eat less overall.

Instead of cutting off one piece of chicken at a time, try chopping up the whole serving first. This strategy is most effective on foods that are not typically served in small pieces, like meat or pizza, so chopping up your fries probably won`t help.

VARIETY – People tend to eat more when offered a variety of colors, so choose fewer colors of candy, but more colors of vegetables.
