Portion control is key to weight control. By cutting back on how much of each food you eat at every meal, your calorie intake drops. Instead of being overwhelmed by the idea of a diet and swearing off your favorite foods, strive to control the serving sizes of the foods you already eat.
“It’s an approach you can live with your whole life".
Eating out presents problems because of the trend to supersize serving portions. What to do? Request a half order or plan to take half your serving home for the next day.
In the United States, about 650 people out of 1,000 are overweight or obese. Healthwise, this means they’re more likely to suffer from life-threatening illnesses such as heart disease, cancer, and diabetes.
Practice portion control, and exercise!
