Portion Control: Five Tips

The key to weight loss for many of us is portion control. We live in a supersize-me world, and unfortunately, it has a tendency to upsize our waists, as well. Portion control isn’t easy, though - everything is bigger than we need it to be, and most of us were of the generation that heard, regularly, “There are children starving in China. Now eat your dinner!” It doesn’t have to be impossible to control your eating, and here you’ll find five tips that might make it easier for you.

1. Chew slowly and put down your spoon or fork between bites. Take time to think about the flavor of each bite, and engage your mind in things like trying to identify all the spices in the food. This increases our enjoyment of the food, and lets our stomach figure out that we’re full before we overeat. It also aids in digestion and helps combat gastrointestinal problems.

2. Keep a food diary. Write down everything - literally everything - you put in your mouth. Drinks (even diet), snacks, peanuts, you name it, write it down. This serves two purposes - it will help you walk by stuff you don’t want badly enough to write down, and it lets you see realistically how much you’re eating. Research shows that people typically underestimate the amount of food they eat.

...

Recent research shows that people who practice portion control over the long term consistently lose weight, even when exercise is difficult or impossible. That’s not to say you shouldn’t exercise, but to illustrate that portion control works, and works well in weight loss. Combining portion control and exercise will certainly improve your weight loss results! As always, you should consult your doctor before starting any significant weight loss regimen.
