Dont rush your meals

The French excel at leisurely family meals. On average, 92 percent of French families dine together nightly.

These meals typically last 33 minutes during the week and 43 minutes on weekends.

Although it sounds illogical, lengthy meals actually encourage less eating.

"It generally takes 20 minutes from the time you're full for your brain to realize you're full, so taking longer to eat means you'll end up eating less," says dietitian Melodie Yong.
