Portion Sizing

Make it a habit to measure your portion. With time, you can inculcate portion control as a natural part of your lifestyle.

You can start by paying attention to the nutritional labels on the food and base your daily servings intake accordingly. For foods without labels, try to estimate the required serving using the visual chart when planning your meals.

You may find that the recommended serving size seems small, but this is because we are so used to the super-sized portions at fast food restaurants. So, start planning your meals according to the Healthy Diet Pyramid for a healthy, balanced diet, and you may just find out the real reason why you couldn't shed off those extra 5 pounds.
