Overeating can hinder your health and fitness goals, but there are effective strategies to help you stay in control. One of the most important is to practice mindful eating. Slow down and savor each bite, paying attention to the flavors and textures of your food. This helps your brain register when you’re full, reducing the chances of overeating.

Another tip is to serve smaller portions. Using smaller plates can create the illusion of a fuller plate, tricking your brain into feeling satisfied with less food. Staying hydrated is also key—sometimes thirst can be mistaken for hunger. Drinking water before meals can help you feel fuller.

Additionally, ensure your meals are balanced, incorporating protein, fiber, and healthy fats. These nutrients help keep you satiated for longer periods. Finally, avoid distractions while eating, such as screens, to focus more on your meal.
