Portion Control- How to control your portions when eating.
Portion control is key to understanding how much you are eating everyday. Everyone wants to lose weight and get in shape. You want to lose the belly, the flabby arms, thick thighs and more. However, you are not paying attention to portion control, you will lose the battle. You may be working out at the gym or at home. However, if you don’t change your eating habits and focus on portion control, your workouts will be in vain.
Portion Control- If you use the wrong portions, you can decrease your chances to lose weight.
You have to look at the label on the back of your foods. Your bowl of cereal for breakfast in the morning may be 540 calories not including the milk you put into your cereal. If you are using a high fat milk, your breakfast may actually be over 700 calories before you even walk out the door. If you measure out the actual serving size for cereal, you will realize that you are consuming too much cereal at one time. This can lead to being overweight.
Always check the serving size on food products- Even if you select a healthy snack to eat through out the day, you have to pay attention to your portion control. One handful of cashews is about 170 calories. If you keep on snacking on the nuts throughout the day, you can potentially consume over 510 calories. That is a whole entire meal by itself. If you curb your snack back to a measured snack, you can make your weight loss easier and faster. Portion control will help you to shed pounds at a faster rate.
When you are faced with eating an unhealthy, watch your intake. After snacking on chips at parties, outings and events, you can potentially consume over 480 calories. A true serving size of chips is about 2 handfuls of chips which is 160 calories. If you have no choice but to eat some type of junk food, watch how much you eat. It makes all the difference.
Measure your snacks- If you don’t measure your snacks, you’re most likely taking in too much calories. Some healthy snacks you can select to eat are celery and carrots. They give you the crunch and sweetness you are looking for without the unwanted calories. A large serving of these snacks still does not reach the amount of calories you get with junk food. By drinking your water along with your snack, you can cut down your cravings until your next meal. Try to eat every 1 1/2 hours to speed up your metabolism. Set up alarms in your phone as reminders to keep you on track.
Tip to remember:
Small plate leads to big results- Cut down your calories by decreasing the size of the plate. We were once told that your food or your plate should not be larger than your hand.
Track your food- In order to reach your weight loss goals, track your exercise and eating to make sure you are on track to shedding your unwanted pounds.
