How to stop overeating

You automatically serve yourself one portion too many and always go all-out in restaurants. You don’t skip a single course. Sound familiar?

Foodies be like #dontcare, but the consequence is that after every meal you need to hibernate for three months and are barely capable of doing anything.

But it can be done differently. Research (watch it in this TED video) has shown that when you eat with your left hand while being right-handed, and vice versa, you eat more slowly. Your coordination with that hand is naturally a lot worse, which makes you eat more slowly. The result? You’re probably full sooner.

One extra tip from the editorial team? Eat from a breakfast plate: you’ll automatically serve yourself less.
