1. Only cook enough food to fill plates once with an appropriate portion. Do not plan on leftovers. 2. Schedule your meals and snacks. Stick to the times routinely as often as possible. 3. Do not delay your meals. Eating on a regular schedule will prevent you from becoming overly hungry and wanting to binge. 4. Be sure to snack in between meals. This will help prevent you from becoming too hungry and from bingeing. 5. Plan a balanced meal with adequate calories that contains the following: protein, grains, dairy, vegetable, and fruit groups. 6. Carry “portable snacks” with you, in your purse or briefcase, or in your car. 7. Always eat breakfast. If time is a problem, prepare it the night before, or make something you can take with you when you leave the house. 8. Make yourself a healthy lunch to take to work and bring along healthy snacks for coffee breaks. 9. Be creative in preparing your food, so that your snacks and meals are more fun. For example, add chopped nuts to hot cereal or to salads. 10. Always use utensils whenever you eat, including during a binge. 11. Resist the urge to clean your plate; this is particularly important when you do not choose your portions (such as when you eat out). 12. Serve yourself one portion at a time. Remove the serving dishes from the table after you have dished out the portion. 13. Slow down your eating. Put your utensils down while chewing your food, or pause and take a few deep breaths during the meal. 14. Leave the table after eating. 15. Put away leftovers as soon as possible. 16. Do not store your leftovers in transparent containers. If you use opaque containers, you will not immediately know what is in them. 17. Make it a rule to put only one food in your mouth at a time, even when you are bingeing. 18. Instead of cutting fat from your diet, consider substituting food with more beneficial fats for those with animal fat (for example, use olive oil instead of butter). 19. Freeze orange juice, other fruit juice, or grapes for when you crave something sweet. 20. Put something sour in your mouth - such as a slice of lemon or lime, or a pickle – when feeling a binge coming on. This helps eliminate your craving for sweets.
