Portion Control

Portion control is one of the major topics that needs to be discussed when talking about weight loss.  Some suggestions for contolling the amount of food you eat at one sitting include:


•Put meals on smaller plates so that the portion appears larger.

•Divide snacks into small portions  - don't sit down with the whole bag.
•Separate leftovers into small portion sizes, instead of storing them in larger containers.

•Serve food away from the table, which may limit family members from going back for seconds.
•Eat meals slowly, and make sure they contain plenty of fruits and vegetables.

•Split orders at a restaurant.

•Skip the plus-sized value meals at fast-food eateries.
