Healthy Habits Tip Series – Week #5 Portion Control
Healthy eating habits are extremely important but what does this really mean? We think it’s a lifestyle where you make a time-tested commitment to balance, variety and moderation.
Simply said: it is an everyday commitment to eating a variety of foods from different food groups without getting too many calories or too much of one nutrient.
So, where do you start?
We all know that old habits are hard to break, so start slow. Be realistic with your expectations and make one change a week, rather than trying to change everything at once. Try adopting one nutrition tip a week and incorporate it into your busy lifestyle. Within 2-3 months you will develop healthy eating habits that will last a lifetime…..more energy, better health and beautiful skin are just some of the benefits.
Portion Control 
Over the years, our perception of a normal portion has grown considerably and as a result so has our waistline. Your meal portions should leave you satisfied, but not feeling stuffed. Your body takes 20 minutes to tell your brain that it is full, so eat slowly. Share a meal with your family or friends if possible. Enjoy a good conversation and quality time. Turn off your TV and take a walk after your meal.
