Avoiding Overeating at Restaurants

Here's a tip to keep you from overeating at restaurants or even at home. About 30 minutes before the meal, eat an apple. Apples are very rich in pectin, a soluble fiber that slows digestion so you feel fuller longer. "An apple a day, keeps the pounds away!"

My wife and I generally share a meal. Or we order one large meal and an appetiser. This is certainly a good way to save money and avoid over eating at the same time.

Yes, seems I had heard this before. You could also probably just take some apple cider vinegar in some water before eating or take some fiber. It's a good idea and one I should try since I do need to lose weight!
