You can find it here. We'll go over some of the psychology of eating and some basic things we can do to fool ourselves into eating less and assist in kick-starting your weight loss. The first and simplest option is to just use a smaller plate. This is a basic approach that restaurants use all the time.

Have you ever observed that at your local "all you can eat" buffet, the huge? There are restaurant combo plate size plates on the table for you to serve your food on. They place little plates on the table for a reason. The smaller your plate, the less food you will consume. When we are hungry, our brain, eyes, and stomach all work together to estimate how much food will be necessary to fill the big hole inside of us.

The issue is that they aren't always accurate in determining what you truly require.

And the trouble is that our stomach is always a little slower than our brain in informing us when we're done.

One of the reasons a tiny plate works is because by the time we finish the first plate, our stomach has finally caught up and will begin to tell us that we are full. Even if we aren't quite as full and return for seconds, we are less likely to dish up as much, and the majority of us will eat less. When we eat from a smaller plate, it's much easier to keep track of our portion amounts.

The second thing I propose is that you keep track of everything you eat. Simply writing down and keeping track of what you put in your mouth will lead to you eating less.

One of our most serious problems is what we refer to as mindless eating. This is the time when we consume the day-old doughnut that has been sitting on the counter. We are less inclined to eat something if we think about it more. By making a habit of writing down what you eat, you will be more inclined to eat less and make better diet choices.

Making yourself accountable to yourself can be a very effective weight loss method. Drink 1-2 glasses of water within 30 minutes of finishing your three main meals. This is a really simple strategy that can be very effective.

A research conducted several years ago in England looked at 84 obese persons, with half of the sample drinking 16 oz. of water before meals and the other half not. The other dietary interventions were all the same. After 12 weeks, those who drank water before meals lost over 10 pounds on average, compared to 2 pounds for the control group. Despite the fact that this was a small study, the results were highly interesting. The best part is that it requires very little effort. Simply enlarging your stomach with water before eating helps to temporarily reduce hunger pangs and makes it less likely that you will overeat.

My fourth recommendation is to keep things in your house that you know you shouldn't be consuming in inconvenient or out-of-the-way places.

This relates to both the psychology of what draws us to eating and some of our innate laziness. If you buy some delicacies that you know you shouldn't consume in large quantities, store them somewhere you won't be able to reach them readily. Keep it hidden from view. I was at a presentation a few months back, and the presenter was talking about a study they ran in which they offered candy dishes full with Hershey kisses to participants. They placed it on the desk of the test subjects at work and urged them to assist themselves.

It was then placed on top of the desk, within the desk, and finally 7-8 feet away from the desk. As one might assume, more candy was consumed when the dish was visible and simple to obtain. They ate less when they were simple to get to but not seen, and even less when they weren't seen but challenging to get to.

It's a goofy study, but it illustrates an important issue about our eating psychology. We can eat less of something as easy as putting snacks or high-calorie foods in difficult-to-reach or less prominent places.

My final piece of advice is to get a small of whatever cuisine you're planning to order outside of the house. Those who eat from smaller containers, similar to what we discussed with a plate at dinner, will eat less. This applies to fast food meals as well as movie theatre popcorn. A survey was conducted with college students at the movies a while back. They were given various sizes of popcorn containers.

One set received huge buckets, while the other received very large buckets. And who do you believe ate the most? Those that received the extra-large buckets ate 45-50 percent more popcorn. Surprisingly, they took a different approach to the study. They then took another group and repeated the process.

They only served them 10-day old stale popcorn this time. And, while both groups ate less popcorn overall, the group with the extra-large buckets ate 45 percent more popcorn than the group with the large buckets. It only goes to show that we will consume almost anything put in front of us. Understanding this and simply ordering something smaller will go a long way toward assisting us in reducing our calorie intake. So there you have it, five simple tips. Simply by purchasing smaller plates, bowls, and cups at home, writing down what you eat, drinking water before meals, storing treats in difficult-to-reach places, and ordering smaller quantities when dining out, you can begin to take the initial steps toward avoiding overeating. And losing weight without needing to embark on a diet. Of course, I always urge that we make long-term adjustments to our diets, but this is a terrific place to start for yourself if you're trying to stay motivated, or for your loved ones if they're feeling the same way. These are only a few simple concepts; there are many more. I'm hoping to hear from you. What ideas or strategies have you learned that have helped you eat healthier or lose weight?
