Use your fingers and eat less!

When trying to reduce your servings, there are many strategies you can use. You probably have tried using smaller plates, or even china with lots of colors and patterns. You are probably doing the extensive chewing at least 20-30 times a bite. So that way, you eat more slowly and have more chances or realizing you are feeling full before you have overeaten.

However, what I am suggesting you is to let your forks and spoons in the drawer and use your own fingers. Make sure you wash your hands before. Form a spoon with your index, middle and ring fingers, and your thumb as a lever. You will find that every bite is much smaller than with a fork but yet feels fuller. I personally like the contact of my fingers in my mouth. It is almost as if eating becomes a more complete sensory experience and when eating whole foods, your skin is actually absorbing the vitamins!

Try it and see, you may even have fun! )
