Controlling portion sizes is an effective strategy for managing weight and promoting overall health. Here are the six tips to help you control portion sizes: • 1. Use Smaller Plates and Bowls 🍜: Opt for smaller plates and bowls when serving your meals. Research suggests that people tend to consume less food when they are presented with smaller portions on smaller plates, as it creates a visual perception of a fuller plate. • 2. Track your calories 📒: A good way to reduce your portions is to LEARN the nutritional value of what you eat, and especially calorie content. Over time, you'll develop a better sense of portion sizes and may not need to measure or track as frequently. • 3. Proteins are key 🥩: Fill your plate with proteins first. Although often underrated, proteins are one of the most important macronutrient. They help for reducing muscle loss, speeding recovery after exercise and/or injury, building lean muscle, helping maintain a healthy weight and curbing hunger. • 4. Be Mindful of Snacks 🍬: Snacks can contribute significantly to overall calorie intake. Instead of mindlessly eating straight from a large package, portion out snacks into smaller containers or bags. This way, you'll have a pre-portioned amount, making it easier to control how much you consume. • 5. Listen to Your Body's Hunger and Fullness Signals 🧘🏼: Pay attention to your body's cues of hunger and fullness. Eat slowly and mindfully, allowing yourself to savor each bite. Stop eating when you start to feel comfortably satisfied, rather than when you feel overly full. • 6. Plan Ahead and Meal Prep 🫙: Planning your meals in advance allows you to portion and control the ingredients you use. Consider meal prepping to have ready-to-eat meals and snacks that are appropriately portioned. This can help you avoid impulsive eating decisions and stick to your desired portion sizes. • Remember, portion control is not about restricting yourself or feeling deprived but rather about finding a balance that supports your health goals ⚖️ . • Health does not have to be complicated.
