Several small meals are always better than three regular meals.
Eat in the same place and sitting down every time if you can.
Drink a full glass of water 30 minutes before eating.
Cut your food up and slowly eat tiny bites. Your brain takes a while to register that you're full. If you scarf it down, you risk overeating.
If you have a problem with binging or self-control, always leave one bite on the plate to practice resistance.
If you have concerned family or room mates, always eat in front of them. It would be normal for them to assume you also eat when they aren't around.
Don't eat in front of the TV or while using your phone. Really focus on your food and every bite.
It helps to create little rules or rituals for yourself such as how many times to chew your bite, how many seconds between each bite, etc. Make your meals methodical.
Eat on a smaller plate. It tricks your brain into thinking there's more food on it.
Brush your teeth after every meal. Not only are you contributing to your dental health, but you're killing your appetite. You'll be much less tempted to eat with that minty toothpaste taste in your mouth.
