You will feel full after eating eggs, quinoa, avocados, cheeses, meats, fish, peppers, cucumbers, potatoes, grain bread, and beans.

Create an atmosphere for a measured meal; do not eat from bags or boxes. Don't rush to eat, give yourself at least 30 minutes to eat. The longer you eat a serving, the more full you will feel.

Eat in silence and without distractions - laptop, smartphone, TV.

This way, you will be able to focus better on your food and feel satisfied after eating.

Listen to yourself whether you really want to eat the portion to the end.
