 | | 5 / 9 5. Downsize your portion
With many restaurants super-sizing their portions these days, a reasonable portion may be half or less than what you are served. Instead of finishing everything, "ask for half your dish to be packed in a take-home bag before you even start to eat," says McQuillan. Another trick is to order an appetizer as your main course. If your meal doesn't come with vegetables, order some as a side dish or have a salad with your meal -- fiber-rich veggies help fill you up so you're less likely to overeat.
