Remember Portion Control

For many of us, portion control is a BIG issue. We eat until we are stuffed, not until we reach a feeling of satiety. Unfortunately, eating yourself into a food coma can lead to weight gain and possibly resistance to leptin, the hormone that tells the body it’s full. I want you to eat every four hours — breakfast, lunch, snack, and dinner — to keep your blood sugar steady. It might also be helpful to stock-up on portion-control plates and bowls — you will be less inclined to take larger portions of food, and will probably realize you are full after a smaller serving than you are used to! Just remember that you don’t need to fill those large plates; your body will be function just fine with a smaller serving, and when you fit into those skinny jeans again, you'll thank yourself!
