Cutting up your food into little pieces and taking time to savor the flavors is an easy trick for watching your portions at mealtime. Sure, you might feel like a kindergarten kid, but eating small bites helps you slow down and enjoy your meal -- this is especially important if you're extremely hungry and just want to scarf down your entire plateful. You might discover you're full before your plate is empty, because your body has time to adjust to what you're eating.
