I feel like one of the best things you can do if you're trying to lose weight is to consciously avoid the urge to finish everything on your plate. Try to habitually leave some food on your plate. I call it leaving an offering to the food gods. I think this leads to better mindfulness about what and how much we are eating.
- davio 8y agoThis is deeply engrained in our culture. I honestly cringe when I see my nephews leaving food on their plate.
- Qwertystop 8y agoWhile it might help with eating less, it does mean you're deliberately wasting food (unless you collect all the scraps into leftovers for a later meal), which is... not good. Try deliberately reducing your serving size instead.
- metabagel 8y agoYes, you should do that. But, many times you will end up with too much food anyway. When possible, save food, rather than throwing it away, but it's better to waste food than to add to a weight problem.
