When it's time to eat, don't rush or eat on the go. Sit down so you can appreciate your food, relax, and savor each bite. Paying close attention to your food will help you eat more slowly, which research has linked to smaller waist sizes.
John Morton, MD, chief of bariatric surgery at Stanford University, added in a previous interview that beyond giving you more time to tune in to your hunger cues, you'll also feel more satisfied and less likely to reach for another snack. So put down the phone, step away from your TV or computer screen, and enjoy some time alone or some pleasant conversation.
