Share: Many restaurants dole out pretty hefty portions. Instead of eating the entire portion, share it with your dinner companion.
Doggy bags haven’t gone out of style: If you find the portion that has been served too large, keep aside half immediately and pack it. Don’t struggle to finish it.
Give dessert a miss: More and more studies are being published on how harmful sugar is. Why load your body with sugar-filled desserts?
Split the sweet offering: If you really need that sweet fix at the end of your meal, share it with your dinner companion. You would have satisfied that sweet craving but would have eaten only half or less (depending on how many people are sharing).
