Colleagues order biryani + sweets for lunch — what's the one thing you actually do to avoid feeling stuffed?
At office celebrations we often get heavy platters — biryani, parathas, chole and a box of sweets. You can't bring your own meal or skip without it being awkward. What's the single, practical move you reliably use to stay comfortable afterward (portion trick, what you pick first, pace, sharing dessert, standing/walking, etc.)?

Fill a modest plate with protein + vegetables/raita and eat that slowly first. Wait 10–15 minutes before deciding on biryani/parathas or sweets — protein and fibre raise fullness and slow eating lets satiety signals register, so you’ll often skip or sharply cut the heavy second helping. If you do take dessert, share a piece.
