If the portion looks too small, then tell yourself you will eat a little more if you are still hungry 40-45 minutes later. Don’t think you have to eat everything during a designated meal time. Give the food a chance to settle, and if you are still hungry later then eat a snack. As a key part of many diet plans, you have to experiment with portion sizes and find what works best, and sometimes you have to convince yourself that a little smaller portion is just as satisfying in the long run. The goal is to optimize weight loss while not getting overly hungry or tired.
