4. Eat more fibre, fruits, vegetables and whole food instead of unprocessed food
Studies have shown that fibre increases satiety and helps in weight control in the long term. Vegetables and fruits have little calories and lots of fibre and water content which makes them filling. Additionally, these are nutritious too.
5. Use smaller plates and chew more
