Most of us do not know that we overeat, and when it comes to reining in calories, we know serving size is important. Below are how you could reduce your portions and make you have a feeling of satisfaction.
1. Thinking of seconds? Wait 10 minutes. It needs to take 10 minutes to let your stomach send the signal to your brain that you are full, so you have to stall before helping yourself to more lasagna. Keep the talk going, or if you are having dinner alone, walk around the house. If you are truly hunger after procrastination, eat salad.
2. Quit the clean plate club. The surveys show that one in four Americans eat everything they are served no matter how big the portions. A better strategy: Have a healthy portion, then stop immediately. Dissipating a little food is better than overloading your body.
3. Avoid eating directly from a box or a bag. Put the food on the plate right away and put the package away, and then sit down and enjoy it.
4. Like big portions? Do this. Make your plate overloaded with veggies with a smidgen of dressing. This kind of food are rich in water, low in fat has lower calories and your big portions is also handled.
Replace your dinner plate with a salad plate. Less real estate means automatic portion control.
6. Make small your default setting. When you are going to order drinks or purchasing some packed food at the shop, you need to ask for the smallest size of every high-calories items. Get the small latte and small cookie.
7. Read the label firstly. Most package drinks seem to they provide for one person but in fact the drinks are meant to serve two or more persons. But the calories on the label are for just one serving, so you have to read the number of servings first. Then make sure drink or eat one serving.
8. Make your leftovers packed before you start to eat. Certainly, it is easy to place a healthy plate of food in front of you. The problem comes when the plate empties and you eat more if each food sitting in front of you. The answer: Pack and store the leftovers before you sit down to eat. By this way, getting seconds turns very harder and feels more improper.
9. Make the meal with raw produce. When you transition to the proper portion size, you might find you will crave for much more food. The trick: a large serving of celery, carrots or peppers. There has no easier way to beef up a meal than with an orange, an apple or a sliced tomato.
