TAKE TIME TO EAT

You shouldn't wait until you are so hungry that you're practically starving to eat. If so you are more likely to eat quickly and therefore overeat.

You should take your time when you are eating. It takes about 20 minutes after you eat something in order for your stomach to realize it and signal the brain that you're full. If you eat fast then you will most likely overeat because you won't realize when you've had enough.

If you take time to savor and enjoy your food, then you will not only have a more pleasant, stress free meal, but also have a better chance of feeling satisfied and full, therefore keeping you from overeating which can lead to weight gain.
