5 Easy Tips For Better Portion Control

- 

1. Downsize

A handy tip when it comes to successful portion control is using the correct serving size, especially if you don’t want to eat twice what your diet recommends. Using smaller plates, cups, glasses or bowls is often neglected because most people don’t think about how much food they’re eating and how many calories are in a particular serving when they sit down for a meal. “Use a smaller bowl or plate and smaller utensils, such as a teaspoon instead of dessert spoon, when you are dishing up to keep your portions a healthy size. This will not only be good for your heart, but also for your waistline,” says Dennis.

2. Eat regularly

You’re more likely to over-indulge if you skip meals or snacks.
