I can’t even begin to emphasis how crucial portion control is to maintaining a healthy weight and lifestyle. You could eat healthy but if your over eating at every meal your going always to have excess weight. I like the motto ” Eat until you are 3/4 full”, by the time your brain begins to feel completely full you have probably over ate already. Another tip to avoid over eating is to pace yourself. Eat slow and take break in between bites to decide if your at the point of being full. Another way to avoid feeling too full is not going into a meal in ” starvation mode”, where you feel so hungry you could eat through a whole box of cereal. You should be eating at least 5 small ( very small) meal a day and always feel satisfied hunger wise. I know most usually don’t have time to fit in so many meals but my solution to this is to always carry snacks or little meals on you.Always having different fruit or almonds in purse or car.
If your not sure how you should e portioning out your good these charts can be very useful for measuring food.
