Here’s a little trick to make your body think that it’s had a big dessert when it hasn’t. If you’re like me you eat a piece of cake and then you want another. So instead of having two pieces you just cut one big one. When you’re finished your body still wants another piece. Here’s what you can do instead.

Cut yourself a small piece of cake. Eat is slowly, one bite at a time. Savor every morsel. Then when your body is ready for that second piece, cut another small piece. Your body still thinks it’s had two pieces and is satisfied. It doesn’t know how big the pieces are.

By doing this you can still indulge in your favorite dessert once in a while, but you’ll be satisfies with less calories. Just don’t make a habit of eating high calorie desserts. One a week should be your maximum. Other nights you should have something low calorie, like fruit.
