Dining out often leads to overeating due to oversized portions and rich ingredients, making it challenging to maintain a healthy diet. Many people eat based on visual cues rather than true hunger, especially when faced with large restaurant plates. Two key strategies can help: first, practice leaving the last bite on your plate to break the habit of always finishing your meal, and second, create a 'fullness checkpoint' by dividing your dish and pausing partway through to assess your hunger. These simple habits can help you enjoy restaurant meals without overindulging.
