I've lost 87 pounds and am writing a series on how I did it. Today's tip is the old "wait 10 minutes" rule. When kids want seconds, I ask them to wait a few minutes to let their food settle to see if they really could eat more. It takes about that long for food to reach the stomach and give the sensation of fullness. If I forgot to remind them, I ended up making food that didn't get eaten.
