Avoid it: Don’t eat so quickly! Give your body time to catch up with your food consumption.
Put down your fork between bites, use a smaller plate, talk more with your meal companions, and wait 20 minutes before going back for seconds.
6. Beware the Booze
Alcoholic beverages add calories and no nutrients. Therefore, if you consume these drinks on a regular basis, you’re loading up on extra calories that have no value to your body.
Calories from alcohol can add up quickly:
* 100 from a glass of wine
* 140 for a beer
* 150 for a cocktail
* 350 for a margarita
Not to mention calories from the fattening party food we’re more likely to eat when we imbibe.
