Portion Sizes Of Foods

Everyone should be aware by now that restaurant meals are double or triple what one should be eating. Your first thought may be that they do this so they can charge more. Although this may be partially true, the fact is you would feel cheated if the serving was normal-sized. The U.S. has become so used to giant portions that they are expected.

Stomachs have been stretched to accommodate huge servings so you don’t feel full until you have overeaten. Begin gradually reducing the amount of food by measuring. It is particularly important to do this with such items as cheese, meat, salad dressings and nuts.
