One way to do that is to limit the beverages or fluids that you take before your meals, but you can take them after your meals. If possible, you can eat double the portion you currently do. Of course, it is possible to do that by adding different food types to your plate.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another approach to eating a greater portion size is in the choice of foods that you eat. The easiest way is to choose foods that you cannot easily get full. Consider foods that are dense, low in water and fiber, and ones that you can chew easily.
