If a patient eats the planned quantity but eats very quickly, which measure can support portion control?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Encouraging slower eating and measured portions
Eating speed can affect awareness of fullness and may encourage overeating before the body's satiety signals are noticed. Advising the patient to eat slowly, take small bites, chew well, pause during the meal and use measured portions can improve mindful eating and portion control. The aim is behaviour change, not unnecessary food restriction.
