DINNER TIPS::

·         Serve your meal on a smaller plate – entrée size rather than main size, Your plate will look satisfyingly full with considerably less food.

·         Dish up meals in the kitchen, never from a platter or pot placed on the table, because having extra food in front of you only encourages picking extras from the pot.

·         As soon as you have cooked and served your meal, put away all unused portion; freezing leftovers immediately is a safe way of ensuring that you don’t go back for seconds. 

         

        But only as much as you plan to consume at a sitting; for example,

·          

       A mini-roast, which you can buy at many butchers nowadays, rather than an entire leg of lamb. Sure, you’will have leftovers for later if you ivest in the latter…..

·         But you are more likely to eat more when there are second helpings of an appetising roast in front of you.

·         Make everything you eat the best quality you can afford, because when the focus is on taste, rather than amount, you are less likely to overear.
