What is moderation(适度)? Basically，it means eating only as much food as your body needs. You should feel satisfied at the end of a meal, but not too full. But it doesn't mean saying goodbye to the foods you love.
Take your time. It's important to slow down and think about food as something nutritious rather than just something to eat in between meetings.It actually takes a few minutes for your brain to tell your body that it has had enough food, so eat slowly and stop eating before you feel full.
