Use the 80-20 Rule
Residents of Okinawa have an interesting rule
called hara hachi bu. This means they eat until they are 80% full, then
stop. In contrast, Americans tend to eat until they feel stuffed. You can
practice this rule by dishing out 20% less food. Researchers have shown that
people don't even miss this amount.
Opt for Tomato-Based Sauce
Watch your choice of pasta sauce. Choosing marinara
sauce instead of Alfredo sauce is a wise choice. In general, tomato sauces have
fewer calories and fat than cream sauces.
Eat More Vegetarian Meals
Opt for the vegetarian meal. Vegetarians usually
weight less than those who consume meat products. This may have to do with
fiber consumption from legume-based foods like bean burgers and lentil soup.
Fiber fills you up with relatively few calories.
