"If you reduce your calories by 100 M-TH you will have an extra 400 calories to play with on the weekends," Susan suggested. You'll be able to eat a bigger meal or indulge on your favourite foods.
Registered dietitian Leslie Langevin, MS, RD, CD, of Whole Health Nutrition, also suggested stopping once you've eaten half your meal to take a 10-minute break. This allows your body time to digest a little, so your brain can catch up with your tummy and give it the "I'm full" signal before it's too late. It forces you to be more mindful and assess whether you're actually hungry for the second half of your meal.
