What is a one-sentence summary of the following article?
It’s easy to lose track of what your body is telling you and get into the habit of eating when you’re not really hungry. If you want to eat something, stop and ask yourself how you’re feeling. Are you actually hungry, or do you just want to eat because you’re stressed, bored, or craving a particular flavor? If you’re hungry, grab a snack. If not, find a way to distract yourself until the urge passes.  Pay attention to cues such as hunger pains, a growling stomach, or lightheadedness and irritability. If you’re not sure whether you’re really hungry, try drinking a glass of water. It can be easy to confuse feelings of hunger and thirst. When you eat, take your time and be mindful of how you are feeling. Stop eating when you feel satisfied, before you feel uncomfortably full. When you have a plate full of food in front of you, it’s hard to resist the urge to polish it off—even if it’s way too much! One good way to avoid overeating is to put smaller portions on your plate. At every meal, try to stick to about 1 cup (240 mL) of carbs (such as pasta, rice, or cereal) and the same amount or more of fruits and vegetables. Keep servings of meat no bigger than the palm of your hand.  A 1 cup (240 mL) serving of food is about the size of your clenched fist. You can also try dividing your plate into equal quarters. Fill 1 quarter with a whole grain (such as whole wheat pasta or brown rice), 1 quarter with a lean protein (such as fish, poultry breast, or tofu), and the other 2 quarters with vegetables. If those portions seem small, try eating your meals on a smaller plate. If your plate is filled up, it can trick your brain into thinking you’re eating more food. When you’re trying to lose weight, you may be tempted to skip eating altogether sometimes. However, doing this can often backfire, because you’ll be hungrier and more likely to overeat at your next meal. Try to eat at 3 healthy, satisfying meals each day. It’s especially important to eat a good breakfast, since this will energize you and prevent you from getting too hungry later in the day. To lose weight, you need to burn more calories than you eat each day. Keep a food journal to help you count how many calories you’re eating in an average day. Ask your doctor or a dietitian how many calories you need to be eating each day based on your age, weight, current eating habits, and activity level.  You can find out how many calories are in a serving of prepackaged food by checking the nutrition label. Many restaurants also have calorie information in their menus. When eating fresh or homemade food, you can use a guide like this one to approximate how many calories are in each meal: https://www.nhs.uk/live-well/healthy-weight/calorie-checker/.
