Before you sit down to eat, follow these simple steps.
1. Take a moment to assess your hunger.
2. Give it a rating on a scale of 0 (ravenously hungry) to 10 (Thanksgiving stuffed).
3. When your hunger is a 4, it’s time to start eating; waiting until you’re at 2 or 1 could put you at risk for overeating.
4. Start slowing down when you get to a 6 or 7 and reassess: Are you still eating to satisfy your hunger? Or are you simply munching mindlessly?

I have recently started to try and lose some weight. I’m not doing any of the fad diets, but simply eating a bit less of everything.
As an example this lunchtime, I made one sandwich instead of the 2 or 3 I would previously have made, and even though I could quite happily have munched on another right after I’d eaten the first, I didn’t, and a short time later, I didn’t feel hungry anymore anyway.
As I write this, it’s now 4.5 hours later, and I’m now beginning to feel a bit hungry again, and will need to make some dinner.
it is very hard to lose weight and too many diets creating confusion
