>Drink a glass of water 30 minutes before every meal to make you eat less.

> 2 minutes before the meal: sit quietly and take 5 or 6 long deep breaths. Let yourself feel relaxed.

> 1 minute before the meal: think about the work that has been put to prepare and cook the food. Appreciate the fact what you will put into your body will nourish it.

>Mid way through your meal: take another minute. Stop eating and take 5 deep breaths. Sit quietly for a moment. You might even realize you are not hungry anymore.

> 10 minutes after eating: take 1 minute to do another series of 5 deep breaths. Focus on the physical sensations that your food may have caused your body.
