Portion Control
Many people have a weight problem from eating far too much so here is a suggestion to help you better understand portion control. First, take out one of your dinner plates. Next, make a fist. Unless you have really big hands and tiny dinner plates, they will be drastically different sizes.
Your fist is roughly the size of your empty stomach. It's very elastic (especially if you challenge it frequently by eating large portions), and it's made to stretch to fit about a litre worth of contents. Now, picture yourself in too-tight spandex. That's elastic too, but put too much inside it and it looks and feels uncomfortable, right?
The next time you get ready to load up a dinner plate think of your little fist-size stomach before you shovel in large bites one right after the other (without so much as time to fully chew and swallow in between).
Remember to always eat slowly so your stomach can gradually, gently stretch to accommodate your food. Your body doesn't even know you're eating until 20 minutes after that first bite. If you can cut back on how much you stretch your stomach at meals, your stomach will tighten back up a bit, and the rest of you will likely follow suit.
Make a habit of proper portion control for healthy weight loss and you'll avoid that uncomfortably full feeling. Over time, you just might get away with wearing that spandex.
