Portion Control

Posted on by admin
Are you eating healthy portion sizes? According to Susie: “When it comes to losing weight and then keeping it off long term, it all comes down to portion sizes. Sure we may know that a restaurant meal out has a few more calories than we would usually enjoy at dinner, but an issue that we consider far less often is the insidious ways in which we eat extra calories numerous times throughout the day. For example a slightly larger slice of bread, an extra teaspoon of oil or even eating from a larger plate.” Luckily, we have Susie on hand to offer her advice. In this post for our Healthy Lifestyle Blog, Susie explains her top 10 tips for portion control and describes what a healthy serving should actually look like.

All right, maybe that’s not a real challenge. Sure, “cut” could be interpreted a lot of ways. And yes, the guy above takes 21 seconds to dice the hell out of a watermelon, but that didn’t seem to trouble the more than 6 million people who have watched this video since it was posted on April 23, 2013.
