A short YouTube clip by Jim Katsoulis promoting mindful eating: eating more slowly reduces intake, and the practical strategy offered is to use a physical reminder (example: a snow globe placed at mealtime and flipped to allow the falling 'snow' to cue relaxation and present-moment awareness before eating).

Slower you eat, the less you eat. And the easiest way to eat slower is to eat mindfully. Now, the biggest challenge of eating mindfully is to remember to do it. So what I'd suggest you do is get some kind of reminder that's going to trigger your memory to eat mindfully and to eat slowly. The best one I've ever seen is I had a client who's a snow globe. And they put the snow globe right in front of where they ate dinner, and they flip it over and put it down. And during that time when the snow was falling, they would allow their body to relax and they would quiet their mind so that by the time they were eating, they were much more present in the moment and aware of what they were eating.
