And the second tip when it comes to appropriate meal portions, this is something that I found has been extremely beneficial.

So when I eat dinner, I'm a fast eater myself.

Maybe you guys can relate, but I sit down, I'm starving.

I'm scarfing that food down.

Especially because I know my son who is in a high chair, I got to eat as fast as possible because he's going to lose attention and he's going to be crawling out of that chair as quickly as possible.

My daughter is going to eat a little bit and then get distracted and probably be crawling on the table.

So I have to get all that food down.

So I'm blocking and tackling the kids as they come at me during dinner.

But if you eat really quickly,

you finish that plate, it sometimes takes a moment for that satiety signal, that hunger signal to be dulled as you're still digesting the food.

So weigh out your food, make your plate, get your portion set up.

This is down the table, eat dinner.

First off, if you can, I would encourage you to eat slower.

It's going to be better for digestion.

It's going to be a more enjoyable experience.

And your satiety signaling, your hunger signaling will be better regulated.

But with that being said, sit down at the table, eat your plate of food.

You might be hungry still immediately upon finishing that plate.

I know I typically am.

Sit there for 10, 15, maybe 20 minutes.
