Easy Ways to Lose Weight with Portion Control
If you're aiming to lose weight, reducing your food intake is key. The trick is knowing what a true portion looks like. Master portion control, and you can effectively manage your weight.
You might be surprised to learn that many of us eat two to three times what a normal portion should be. For instance, a portion of meat is just 3 ounces, roughly the size of a deck of playing cards. We've become used to oversized portions being the norm. A 12-ounce can of soda actually counts as 1 and a half servings. One cup of cooked pasta is a serving, not an entire bowl.
At dinner, most of us tend to fill our plates and eat everything on them. A simple solution is to use smaller plates. You'll still fill that plate and finish your meal, but you'll consume fewer calories. Opt for smaller plates, bowls, and cups to help you feel satisfied with less.
Another strategy is to garnish your plate with inedible items like raw kale, thinly sliced fruit, or bulky items like fresh parsley. These garnishes make your plate look fuller, tricking your mind into thinking you're eating more. Restaurants use this tactic frequently.
Start your meal by placing salad on your plate first, followed by vegetables. This leaves less room for meat, which is calorie-dense. Eating more salad and veggies reduces your calorie and fat intake.
Use tall, thin glasses with ice for cold beverages. People often judge how much they've drunk by what's left in the glass, and a tall thin glass gives the illusion of having more, prompting you to stop sooner.
Adopt the 50-25-25 rule: fill 50% of your plate with vegetables and salad, 25% with whole grains, pasta, or whole wheat bread, and 25% with a protein source like chicken or fish.
Avoid leftovers. If you're cooking for two, prepare just enough for that meal. It's tempting to cook extra for convenience, but leftovers can lead to overeating. With none left over, there's no temptation.
Understanding what constitutes a portion is your key to weight loss. Embrace these strategies, and you'll be well on your way to a healthier you.
