Staying with family who cook rich meals — what's one small thing you do to avoid feeling heavy?

When you're visiting family and every meal is richer or larger than your usual food, what one small, realistic strategy do you use so you don't feel bloated or derail your routine? (Examples welcome: timing, portion tricks, light swaps, short walks — but you can share anything that actually works for you.)

Editorial

Try a simple 3‑part micro-plan: (1) visual portion control — use a smaller plate and fill half it with vegetables/salad first, then take smaller portions of richer dishes; (2) eat protein or vegetables first and slow down to increase satiety; (3) after the meal take a gentle 10–15 minute walk and skip carbonated drinks/alcohol. A small cup of warm water or ginger tea afterwards can also ease digestion for many people.
