Portion Control For Healthy Lifestyle

Portion Control is crucial for maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Many restaurants and families serve more food than one person needs per one meal. It is easy to take control of the amount of food that ends up on your plate by splitting an entrée with a friend or, ask the waiter to wrap up half of your meal as soon as it's brought to the table. If you order an entrée, take the leftovers home, refrigerate and enjoy another meal or a snack tomorrow as well.

To minimize the temptations of second and third helpings when eating at home, serve the food on individual plates. Don't put the serving dishes on the table. This way you are keeping the excess food out of reach and it helps discourage overeating.

When eating or snacking in front of the TV, put the amount that you plan to eat into a bowl or container instead of eating straight from the package.
