The best way to do this would be to use smaller plates, bowls, and glasses. Portion out dishes before you eat or look at food recipes with lesser serving size. If you go out to eat and the portions are big, you can either share it with a friend or eat half at the restaurant and pack the remaining for home. Always opt for healthy snacks while dining out.Serve yourself more vegetables, fruits, whole grains and fat-free or 1% milk and dairy products.
