TIPS:
Refrain from drinking during meals. It is best to stop taking in liquids at least 30 minutes before and after each meal. This will allow you to consume adequate amounts of food/protein before getting full. Engage in mindful eating to ensure that you are chewing each bite well, taking eraser-sized bites and eating (and drinking) slowly.
