Tips to Successful Portion Control
-
Measure your food.
Try measuring every product you include into your cooking to clearly realize how much you eat. This will give you full control over your portions so you will not overeat. -
Use smaller dishware.
Try putting your food in your regular plate and in a smaller one. If you use the latter, the amount of food you eat seems larger, so you get full faster. This is a small but effective trick for your stomach.
-
Make single portion packages.
When cooking meals, make sure to divide them into strict portions before putting them into your fridge. Then you will know for sure how much you eat in one sitting and will be able to control your diet. -
Measure oil before putting it in a dish.
Fats are essential for your healthy diet, but eating too much of them may cause weight gain. Measuring the oil before putting it in any dish will prevent you from consuming too much fat. -
Add more vegetables.
Eating a bit of fresh salad before the main meal will make you eat less, improving your portion control. Likewise, putting vegetables in your sandwiches will make you feel full faster without consuming too many calories.
