The Battle of the Belly: Part 1

Diets, diets, diets. It seems 90% of the people I know (men and women alike) have started a diet to shed the holiday pounds. Over the years I've (and I'm sure you have too) heard of the most "interesting" diets. And, I'll admit that in my younger years, I even tried the grapefruit diet, the cabbage soup diet and a few others. What I've learned is - it's really about math - consuming less calories and expending more; Eating the right foods in the right proportions!

If you grew up in 'clean the plate' era, as did I, then you know that it can feel like a sin to leave food on the plate.  Unfortunately, our plates have gotten bigger. Did you see the Super Size Me movie?  It highlights our growing portion size and thus growing girth, yet many still don't know quite how to decrease portion sizes.

 
Here are a few tips that I use that helps me control my portions and maintain my ideal weight:

  • Use a salad plate
  • Eat 5-6 small meals a day
  • When dining out, immediately upon receiving your meal, ask for a doggie bag and cut your meal in half to save the rest for another meal.
  • Drink plenty of water!! Often when we have hunger pangs, our body really is craving water. Try it, you may just drown those cravings!
  • Read the package labels! You may be surprised to find how small the portion size really is.
  • I drink Bios Life before meals. This helps me feel fuller faster, and longer - which means smaller portions.

If you're still stumped with portion control, try this online portion guide

To proper portions, a healthy weight and feeling fabulous about yourself!
 

Fondly,
