Portion Control & More Tips*

Just Enough

Train yourself to get in the habit of having enough, but not too much. Eat as little or as much as you need, slowly, over time, to achieve a balance that's right for you.

You learn this from a process of slowly cutting back, just a little at a time, on the foods you enjoy.

If you're eating three fast food burgers every lunch, try two. If you're having two slices of pizza, have one. If you're having a piece of meat, two or three side dishes, and a couple of drinks--just have one side and one drink (and make that one water, how 'bout?)



Just a little less will be more than enough, and over time, you'll slowly lose weight without having to give up the foods you love.
