Are you a member of the clean plate club? If so, I’d like to give you permission to drop out! A simple way to eat healthier and achieve a healthy weight is to avoid large portions and eat less. Here are some tips to help you do this:
- Use smaller plates, bowls and glasses.
- Once in a while, get out the measuring cups and measure your portions out into your bowls and plates to give you a better idea for how much you should be eating and what the appropriate portion sizes are.
- Eat slower and make your dining experience last longer…savor each bite!
- Stick to one helping…avoid seconds, thirds, and fourths.
- Fill up on a leafy-green salad or vegetable soup before the main course.
