Keep fluids nearby
We determine fullness levels in many ways, but one is literally how full our belly feels. You can fill your belly with high-calorie foods, but you can also fill it with zero- or low-calorie liquids, which will still make you feel full. Research has even found that consuming a full glass of water a half-hour before a meal can help individuals eat less and lose weight. Keep a low-calorie beverage nearby with meals. Take time to take sips between bites. Filling your stomach up with fluids may help you feel fuller, and eat less. Taking a sip also gives you a moment to pause, breathe, and slow down.
