9 simple tricks to eat less

This Week's Tip 9 simple tricks to eat less If you have diabetes, and you have set a weight-loss goal to help manage your condition, you are on the right track. But setting a weight-loss goal and implementing the steps you need to take to reach it are two very different things. When it comes to eating healthier—or eating less for that matter—it isn't always as simple as ""just eating less."" Why? Because what and how much we eat is influenced by so many factors—the environment in which we're eating (relaxed at home or at a party), how much food is served (a portion-controlled meal at home or a super-size one at a restaurant), and how hungry we are (just a little or totally famished). The good news is that YOU can control many of these factors; it's just a matter of bringing them to the forefront of your mind until they become habits. Here are nine proven tricks you can use to help yourself eat less and keep your calories in check. Over time, they'll become second nature—and your weight loss will be second to none!
