I know you have heard it before……PORTION CONTROL. YES, it is sooooo important for weight loss. If you think about it, the lack of portion control is probably why you are overweight in the first place. Believe it or not, the meals you are eating are probably 2 to 3 times the size that they should be. During our weight loss challenge, Bistro MD supplied me with meals that were the right size for my weight and height. I learned proper portion control and actually felt satisfied after every meal. I didn’t feel stuffed or bloated. Just like the Baby Bear, I felt just right.
Here is what I do to control my portions:
-Everything on my plate is the size of my fist. That means, each serving of protein, vegetables, pasta, etc. is sized appropriately.
-When I go to a restaurant, I either split my main course with a friend, take half of the main course home, or order a few appetizers for my main meal.
-If I am at a buffet or a large dinner party, I have one spoon of everything so I don’t miss out on anything.
