Some of your friends order more food then they can eat when they go out to eat at restaurant .often the food is wasted . Discuss
Lady bird [3.3K]
<span>Eating, like any other body task, requires discipline. You should not just eat because the food is present but you should eat because you need to satisfy your body requirements. Of course sometimes you feel the food is delicious and want to have some more. Well, it’s normal but whenever you are expecting some tasty dishes in plenty, you need to be prepared both physically and mentally. To avoid wastage, you need to reduce the food that you consume prior to such an event. If your friends are victims of the same, ask them to follow that advice. Also, tell them it’s important for them to construct an eating schedule/plan. All these solutions, however, require personal discipline.</span>
