Experts point out that one of the primary causes of obesity is overeating. Yet most of us don't even realize that we overeat. So it keeps expanding with our waistlines and many people have become accustomed to eating larger portions. Mostly people consume fast foods in large amounts. Being very dense in calories, these add to double the required calorie need of body. Similar foods cooked at home, are far less energy dense.

Most of us eat whatever is put in front of us, having been taught as children to eat everything on our plate. When the portions we were told to finish were small, there was no problem. But now our normal serve sizes have grown; simultaneously are our bodyweight!

SOME SIMPLE WAYS TO REDUCE YOUR INTAKE.

Wait ten minutes: Your stomach needs about that long to signal to the brain that it is full, so wait before having more.

Leave the "clean plate" attitude": Most of us eat everything were served, no matter how big the portion. A better strategy is to eat a healthy portion .It is better to save food for tomorrow than to overload your body.

Never eat straight from a bag, box or carton :If you are eating take away food, put the right portion on a plate and put the package away, then sit down and enjoy your meal.

If you like big, go big on the healthy stuff like vegetables and salad.

Choose single serve: Buy or make high calorie foods in individual serving sizes.

Put away leftovers before eating: When you have more food sitting in front of you, pack away and store leftovers before you sit down to eat.

Round off the meal with fruits and vegetables: Have large crunchy servings of carrots or capsicums, or a sliced tomato with your meal.

Overweight and obesity are major risk factors for a number of chronic diseases, including diabetes, cardiovascular diseases and cancer. Once considered a problem only in high-income countries, overweight and obesity are now dramatically on the rise in low- and middle-income countries, particularly in urban settings.

Understanding and educating is the only way left in order to move towards a more healthy future.
