Out of sight

People tend to consume more when they have easy access to food. Make your home a "portion friendly zone."

• Replace the candy dish with a fruit bowl.
• Store especially tempting foods, like cookies, chips, or ice cream, out of immediate eyesight, like on a high shelf or at the back of the freezer. Move the healthier food to the front at eye level.
• When buying in bulk, store the excess in a place that's not convenient to get to, such as a high cabinet or at the back of the pantry.
