Here are 5 Portion Control Tips
1. Drink 1 large cup of water 30 minutes before you meal - The water will fill your stomach a little and start you thinking about the size of your stomach.
2. Dish up all food at once - The problem with how I ate today or any buffet style meal is that you do not know how much you are eating. 1 plate for 1 meal will make you know what you are eating without getting distraction.
3. Eat slowly and concentrate on all the fork or spoonfuls of food - We are supposed to enjoy our meals but I know that when I watch my kids or even myself I will catch us not enjoying but instead racing through eating a meal. Food is not to be sprinted through but enjoyed. Take your time, enjoy it with you and your family.
4. Eat only until you are satisfied - Know when to stop. Having that water before and eating slowly will help you understand how much food you need and to stop on time. No reason to eat to much.
5. Remember that this is not your last meal - Enough said. You can eat again in a few hours.
I am hoping that these portion control tips will help you. None of them are very inspired or earth shattering but as 5 tips go they are great to help you to eat better, enjoy your food and never have an excuse to overeat.
