Avoid oversized portions
The DASH diet recommends specific serving sizes. But if you've eaten in restaurants in recent years, you know that portions are often heaping. To avoid overeating:

- Substitute an appetizer for an entrée.
- Split a meal with a companion.
- Put half the meal in a takeout container before you start eating.
