Tips on Portion Control !?!

I've heard a lot of talk about Portion Control lately.   My family and friends are having a difficult time with this, as are many others. 
I have also needed to learn how to control the amount of food I eat.  Hear are some tips that helped me and hopefully help you also!

1. Use a smaller plate or bowl. 
2. Order the Small when eating out.
3. Share! - If we bought desert we would all share only ONE (me and my 2 girls)
4. Put more veggies than pasta / rice on your plate. 
5. Actually Measure out your Food. - you might be surprised!
6. Drink a glass of water before eating.
7. Snack Smart. - keep fruits and veggies at hand
8. Buy a food scale.

I know we are all very busy.  You just need to try one or two of these tips at a time.  When you get used to one then try another. Pretty soon you'll be losing weight and feeling great. 

Also I found this very helpful chart on WebMD.  

Basics Guidelines:

1 cup = baseball size

1/2 cup = lightbulb

1 oz / 2 tbsp = golf ball

3 oz meat/ chicken = deck of cards

3 oz fish = checkbook

I really hope this helps you!  I'd Love to see your Before and After pictures!
