TIPS TO REGAIN CONTROL
Don't let your portions control you. Control them with these tips:
Cook at home instead of eating out.
Avoid all-you-can-eat buffets.
Say no to upsizing.
Order an appetizer instead of an entrée.
Split meals or pack some away for later.
Order salad dressing on the side.
Don't eat snacks out of large boxes or bags.
Serve yourself a small amount on a plate and put away the rest.
Read labels. One large muffin, for example, may actually be equal to two servings.
Use a measuring cup to measure portions until you learn to eyeball proper serving sizes.
Order the small size or kid's size instead of a large.
Don't be fooled. Just because something is labeled "Gluten-free" or "No trans fat" doesn't mean you should eat unlimited quantities.
Use smaller plates, bowls and drinking glasses.
Fill half your plate with vegetables; split the other half between grains and lean meat or protein.
