Super Saves: Small Fixes to the Way You Eat

Sometimes staying healthy is not about what you eat but how you eat. Here are 3 ways to change the way you eat at breakfast, lunch and dinner with a little dose of portion control:

#1 Switch up your plates

More room on your plate, more food in your belly. Just use smaller plates to reduce the amount of food you pile on and feel great about cleaning your plate. 

Bonus tip: Try using a salad plate instead of a regular sized plate for a calorie slash of ~250 calories.

#2 Skip seconds

Keep your plate full but avoid returning for second helpings. This will help you keep portions in check. 

Bonus tip: Count to 10. Do you really want that second helping of pizza or fries? Doubtful.

#3 Course Loading

Dividing your meal into courses will slow down your eating and give your brain time to register fullness. 

Bonus tip: Try starting with a soup (high temp prevents you from scarfing down) or salad (the greens will take up room in your stomach) before moving on to your main dish.
