As a nation, we are getting bigger and eating more. But there are effective ways to control your appetite and

eat only as much as you need.

Keep away from low-nutrition snacks

That means ice cream, sweets, chips biscuits, cakes and any other salty orsugary snacks you eat between

meals. Although we have a tendency to eat them, you can learn to live without these

unhealthy-and-fattening-additions to your diet. Try to make it a habit to eat them only when offered at social

events or as a special treat.

Leave half an hour between main course and dessert

Having a break between courses gives your brain time to receive the fullness signal and make you more likely

to refuse the sweet stuff. And, in fact, as soon as you feel the first signals of fullness, remove your plate from the

table. That will tell your brain that food time is over.

Make yours a small helping

Put an end to super-sized portions. You won’t be missing out—today’s small was the medium or large of a

few decade ago. Select or serve yourself a modest portion and eat it slowly enjoying the flavors. Before you know

it, small will feel just right. What’s more, ordering the smaller size leads to wearing the smaller size.

Distract yourself

When you find yourself hunting down food, even though you’re even hungry, do something else for 20

minutes. Drink a large glass of water as thirst is often confused with a desire for food. Choose something that

engages your brain as well as your hands, such as writing a letter or listening to a song. You could also go for a

short walk or do something that you enjoy. If you think you really are hungry, set an alarm for 20 minutes’ time

and if you still want to eat when it rings, fine. If not, the urge will have passed.

1. Which way suits you better if you tend to order a large portion of food?

A. Distract yourself.

B. Make yours a small helping.

C. Keep away from low-nutrition snacks. D. Leave half an hour between main course and dessert.

2. Why should you have a break between main course and dessert?

A. To give people time to chat.

B. To have a good appetite for sweet stuff.

C. To reduce appetite for dessert.

D. To give the host time to remove your plate.

3. When you find yourself pursuing for food, what should you do?

A. Eat some biscuits. B. Eat some sugary snacks.

C. Have some soft drinks. D. Listen to a lovely melody.

B

Some years ago I was offered a writing assignment that would require three months of travel through Europe.

I had been abroad a couple of times, but I could hardly claim to know my way around the continent. Moreover, my

knowledge of foreign languages was limited to a little college French.

I hesitated. How would I, unable to speak the language, totally unfamiliar with local geography or

transportation system？It seemed impossible, and with considerable regret. Suddenly a thought ran through my

mind: you can't learn if you don't try. So I accepted the assignment.

There were some bad moments. But by the time I had finished the trip I was an experienced traveler. And

ever since, I have never hesitated to head for even the most remote of places, without guides or even advanced

bookings, confident that somehow I will manage.

The point is that the new, along with the different, is almost scary by definition. But each time you try

something, you learn, and as the learning piles up, the world opens to you.

I've learned to ski at 40, and flown up the Rhine River in a balloon. And I know I'll go on doing such things. It's

not because I'm braver or more daring than others. I'm not. But I'll accept anxiety as another name for challenge

and I believe I can accomplish wonders.
