  11. Tips: • When eating a meal stop when your satisfied, not when your full. • Eat only when your hungry. • If you feel hungry between meals, eat a healthy snack, like a piece of fruit or a small salad, to avoid over eating during your next meal • When snacking in front of the TV, put the amount that you plan to eat into a bowl or container instead of eating straight from the package. It's easy to overeat when your attention is focused on something else.
