Potion Control

It seems these days that people have a distorted view on how much they should be eating. Everything is bigger. Super-sized meals, all you can eat buffets, challenges to eat huge burgers, etc. We should only really need to eat about half or a third of what we are served in a restaurant. Here is an example of a serving compared to what we are served.

There are many ways to avoid overeating. As soon as your meal comes, you can ask for a box and immediately take half of your meal and put it in a to go box. Then you already have lunch for the next day as well. If you are unsure of how much you are eating, you can always use your hand as measuring spoons and cups. For example, your fist is about a cup.

 

 

When I am eating at home, I use a smaller plate. The plate will look fuller. If you use a normal sized plate, you will have a lot of extra space and you will more then likely feel like you are missing out or not eating enough. 

That's one more reason I love the 21 Day Fix. It takes all the guess work out of portion control for you. With the program, you receive different colored containers. Each container stands for different food groups. Based on you how many calories you should eat a day, you get a certain about of containers to use each day. If it fits in the containers, you can eat it.

This is some suggestions on how to be more conscious about how much we are eating. If you would like more information on this or the 21 Day Fix, just fill out the simple form below and I would be happy to help you. https://rhondamerritt.wufoo.com/forms/m1pqauwx0gprm90/
