The next thing you need to do is be a conscious eater. Make sure that you are taking the time to chew your food. The slower you eat the sooner you will realize you are full. Put down that fork in between bites ladies. I know that at first it will feel unnatural but after a while it will become normal. Plus think of all the calories you won’t take in just because you didn’t devour your meal in minutes.

One of the best things you can do is exercise. Yes, many know they need to exercise but others seem to think that if they starve themselves by restricting calories they will drop those unwanted pounds faster.

Tips to Eating Healthy Portions


Many Americans are overweight from overeating. Often they don't realize that this is the case. Perhaps they only had their three squares a day for years. Maybe these three squares contained enough for three meals a piece. As a nation we have not come far in understanding what a portion size is, instead we pile our plates with whatever will fit. This leads us to eat far too many calories each day making us gain weight.

In order to stop eating huge portions of food you will need to learn how to determine what a portion is. This is not always easy but once you learn you will always know. Listed below are serving sizes for common foods.

1 Oats and grains- 1 cup cooked

2 Natural cheese- 1-1.5 ounces

3 Processed cheese- 2 ounces

4 Milk and yogurt- 1 cup

5 Pasta- half a cup

6 Fruit- 1 medium piece or half a cup

7 Fish, poultry, and red meat- 3-4 ounces ( about the size of a deck of cards)

These are portion sizes set by the FDA. There are also many ways that you can learn how to maintain healthy portions on your own. Although portions are often hard to determine there are some helpful tips that can help you on your way to knowing healthy portions and gaining a healthy waistline. Here are some tips on how to avoid overeating and recognizing a healthy portion.

1 Use smaller plates at home. You can go to garage sales to find some that are more unique or go to the store to choose some in your favorite patterns or designs. You can also bring your own smaller plate with you to be prepared away from home.

2 Make sure to read labels. All grocery items that are packaged will have nutritious information on the box. This includes portion size. Also most restaurants are now giving out this information so check it out and be aware.

3 Learn what a serving size looks like. This will train your eye to the different portions so that you will be able to spot oversized portions.

4 When eating out request a take home container when ordering your food. That way when your food arrives you can set aside half before you start eating. Most of the time portions are at least twice what they are suppose to be.

5 Order off of the kids, senior, or appetizer menus to receive smaller portions. Be careful though often these sections contain foods higher in fat and calories.

Learning how to eat healthy portions can be difficult but once you learn you will forever be able to spot an oversized portion. Eating healthy portions will help to shrink your waist and improve your health.
