Portion Cut Pt. 2

Here are techniques you can use to keep your portions under control.

·                                 If you're at home, use smaller plates. This creates the illusion of eating a bigger serving.

·                                 If you're at a restaurant and you know the portions are going to be huge, ask the server to put half your meal in a “to-go box” before it even hits the table. This saves you money as well as unnecessary calorie overload.

·                                 Share an entrée with your dining partner.

·                                 Make a new rule for yourself: Always leave something on your plate. This reminds you that you are in control of the food, not the other way around.
