DIET & NUTRITION
WEEK-LONG DIET PLAN
- Don’t eat when you’re not
hungry: Stop eating when you are
‘no longer hungry’, before you are
‘full’. The traditional saying that
you should stop eating when you
can still eat one more roti, or eating
until you are 80 per cent full, helps
you to eat the right amount of food - Learn to say no: Don’t eat with
your eyes; eat according to how
hungry you are. If you have eaten
enough, just say no
3. Pre-plate your food: Research
has shown that people eat about
14 per cent less when they serve
small portions of everything on a
plate, just like a traditional thali or
the Japanese bento box, because
they are able to see the amount of
food they are about to eat
4. Use smaller utensils: Use smaller
plates, bowls, spoons, cups and
glasses; they help keep a check
on the volume of food you eat
5. Eat slowly: Chew your food well,
and it will get digested easily
6. Make overeating di cult:
You are likely to overeat when
unhealthy food is around you, so
hide or lock it
7. Create distractions: When
you feel an urge to eat, divert
your mind by keeping busy
8. Identify your danger areas:
Find out when are you most likely
