Trick yourself slim
Sit up straight!
Slouching on the settee isn't good for another reason, you may not feel as full so quickly. Sitting up straight instead allows food to reach the bottom area of your stomach more easily, triggering a sense of fullness faster.
Get an early night
People who don't get enough sleep are more likely to be overweight according to British and American research. Lack of sleep can affect the balance of hunger and satiety hormones, so aim for 7-8 hours a night.
Eat a starter
The right starter or pre-meal snack can mean you eat significantly fewer calories at your meal overall. Go for an apple, a large dressing-free salad, or half a grapefruit, which could also help regulate blood sugar levels and fat metabolism. You could lose up to half a stone in a month by adopting this trick before every meal.
