This week I am going to talk about portion control.
The first item to consider when trying to think about portions is the DISHWARE
Remember that our eyes are bigger than our stomachs. Use smaller plates and bowls.
SHARE a meal or take half home.
I was out to lunch the other day and ordered a stuffed tomato which was HUGE. I was not even able to eat half. So I wrapped and ate again the next day for lunch and still had some to throw away. What in the world?
DO NOT eat snacks out of the bag. Put small portion in bowl and put away the bag. Only eat what you took out in one sitting.
BE aware when you are around company. Studies have shown that we mirror the amount of food others are consuming. Try to be a role model to others especially if they are having a weight problem.
Eat regularly throughout the day to avoid being overly hungry at any meal. This is also good for people with REFLUX or stomach problems.
Keep to bland foods at night and small portions.
