5 Easy Tips For Better Portion Control

RESTRICTING YOUR DIET USUALLY MAKES YOU WANT TO EAT MORE. With this in mind, we approached Fit4Life Master trainer Dennis Simmons for some practical advice to limit what you eat when fat loss is your primary goal.

1. Downsize

A handy tip when it comes to successful portion control is using the correct serving size, especially if you don’t want to eat twice what your diet recommends. Using smaller plates, cups, glasses or bowls is often neglected because most people don’t think about how much food they’re eating and how many calories are in a particular serving when they sit down for a meal. “Use a smaller bowl or plate and smaller utensils, such as a teaspoon instead of dessert spoon, when you are dishing up to keep your portions a healthy size. This will not only be good for your heart, but also for your waistline,” says Dennis.

2. Eat regularly
