• Chew your each morsel properly. Studies have shown that when you chew slower, you eat less as it also lets you know when you are full before you start overeating.

• Moderate eating while Eating
  

• Eat in moderation while eating out. Generally, the serving sizes at any restaurants or hotel are more than double. At this time don't try to finish it completely, instead of ask your waiter or waitress to bring you a take out box and keep this extra amount of food in it.

• Frequent Mini Meals

• Never ever skip a meal or avoid food for long hours, when you starve yourself for long time you will have craving for more food; the next time you have your meal and you will eat much food that will lead to overeating. To avoid this, take small frequent meal.

• Increase your water consumption

• Consumption of plenty of water can exempt you from overeating as your stomach feel fuller and your craving for strong food will be minimized. You can take hot water with lemon juice which is a great concoction that helps in increasing metabolic rates and help in burning calories too.
