Here's a way to eat more mindfully, which will naturally lead to eating less. If you're planning on eating a sandwich (for example) with a side dish or 2, bring each item out separately. Each item should be on the plate alone. That way, you're able to fully focus your attention on enjoying that thing, without just tearing through and conquering everything on the plate. When you get full, you're less likely to get up and get more food. Laziness trumps greed, right?
