Focus on when you drink. Sip on calorie-free beverages between meals, not with meals. Practice the 5/30 rule by putting your drink down 5 minutes before you start eating your meal or snack and not picking it back up until 30 minutes from the end of your meal. Drinking with meals causes the pouch or sleeve to expand and food to be pushed through—allowing for larger portions of food.
