How to Eat Less at Dinner by rootie2t

I started doing this about a week ago, and darned if it doesn’t work.

Instead of eating a salad or veggies *with* your meat and potatoes, eat it an hour or so before.  Last week I was STARVING at 5, dinner wasn’t ’til whenever Terry got home (6:30 or so), and I didn’t want to eat cheese or peanut butter, so I filled a big bowl with greens and carrots and all, threw on some lite vinagrette, and ate it. When we sat down for dinner (spaghetti,  bread, blah blah) I was too full, and ate about half what I normally have, and it was plenty.  I guess it’s a logical extention of the ’6 meals a day’ concept.  Maybe when you’re fixing dinner, have a bowl of salad there to eat on while you work.  I absolutely swear by the chopped greens in a bag. They cost a bit more, but how easy is it to just dump them in a bowl and go?
