Here’s how to avoid that extra calorie…
Richard Wiseman, Professor of the Public Understanding of Psychology at the University of Hertfordshire in the United Kingdom, came up with 10 interesting tricks that can help you stop overeating.
As the Rambam writes in Mishne Torah, “Overeating is like poison to anyone’s body. It is the main source of all illness. Most illnesses which afflict a man are caused by harmful foods or by his filling his belly and overeating, even of healthful foods.”
The Rambam quoted Shlomo Hamelech that “Whoever guards his mouth and his tongue, guards his soul from distress” (Proverbs 21:23) and learns from those words that “guards his mouth” means from eating harmful food or eating his fill.
In Hilchos Deot (Chapter 3, Halacha 2), the Rambam writes: “One should not eat until his stomach is full. Rather, [he should stop when] he has eaten to close to three quarter’s of full satisfaction.”
Wiseman claims that simple changes in your eating habits –smaller plates, taller glasses and chewing gum– can make you downsize your portion size and leading you to each less.
He is the best-selling author of the popular psychology book Quirkology and is known for his critical examination and frequent debunking of unusual phenomena.
Here are Wiseman’s 10 tips that could help you cut down on unhealthy eating by a third:

There is no puzzle !

Good tips – and good to hear it in an English accent for a change!
There are certain foods which if yu eat them on a regular basis, will help you have what someone told me is called “gag reflex”, where you feel the need to stop eating. worth google it or as a nutritionist
Obviously, these tips don’t work. Do you think we don’t know what to do? I’m sick of reading these self righteous articles about just do this or do that. IF IT WAS THAT EASY YOU DON’T THINK WE WOULD HAVE DONE IT?
arent you supposed to eat with your right hand according to Halacha?
Ask you Dr. for the new drug BELVIQ, BELVIQ is NOT a supplement is the brand name of a NEW discovered drug called Lorcaserin, it works wonders…OBVIOUSLY THIS IS NOT A RECOMENDATION FOR YOU TO TAKE IT, ASK YOUR DOCTOR IF IS FOR FOR YOU!! We all know that eating (sugars in particular) has become an ADDICTION, and many of us cannot stop it, we NEED more sugar at one point of the day…BELVIQ works on that ADDICTION: Lorcaserin is a selective 5-HT2C receptor agonist, and in vitro testing of the drug showed reasonable selectivity for 5-HT2C over other related… Read more »

When chassidus says have self control it doesn’t mean talk to yourself like you are a two year old and ‘just say no’
This video presents ways of HOW to practice self control.
It’s a shame that people understand chassidus in the most narrow of senses. How can you make use of the knowledge and practice chassidus if you don’t have the ability to think broadly and apply the knowledge.
Use your mind that’s what chab”d stands for!
Just have self-control and tell yourself no.
