Tips and tricks

If you are able to control the food portions that can help you with a healthy weight loss by eating nutritious food following the right eating pattern. Let me follow a few easy tips so that you can do the right portion control at the right time to make a healthy lifestyle work for you.

• Think about the last time you had a big portion of your favorite food or about the healthy food you had in excess. I mean to say that you need to think about how a big portion of any kind of food makes you feel. I hate that feeling of bloating even after consuming a big healthy salad for dinner. The morning after that makes me feel awful with the aftertaste in my mouth and the burps reminding me of the last healthy meal I had. Lol… that makes me rethink my portion size.
• Serving and portion sizes have a lot of differences between them which is the thing people need to consider during eating out of the home. There can be two or three portions on the plate when food is served on it. You can’t get the suitable portion size by the serving size.
• When you opt for a customized meal plan it should clearly mention your portion size not serving size.
• The right portion of food is the amount that can allow you to keep the body full of energy and nutrients with satisfaction and keep you away from cravings.
• For those who track calories, please use your total daily calorie goal to make the right decision about your portion size per meal keeping in mind the nutrition value.

• Use any of the good online calorie goal calculators that are available free to set a daily calorie goal. These calculate calories on the basis of your gender, age, height, present and target weight, as well as your activity level.

• You can go for a kitchen weighing scale if you want to keep a check initially though I still say, follow your gut.

• According to my experience, this tip is going to help you a lot. Consider every meal as 1 snack. You can manage the portions by using a standard bowl every day. You will see a massive effect of your diet on your weight loss by having 4 -5 meals a day.

Whatever anyone might say, the ultimate aim of any customized weight loss diet plan is to make you consume lesser calories than what your body utilizes on a daily basis. All you need to take care of is to reach your health and weight loss goals in a sustainable way. No, you do not have to deprive yourself of daily nutrition in order to achieve that. All you need to pay attention to is including all essentials of a healthy meal including all good fats and carbohydrates also. If you think you need a customized weight loss diet plan, contact us.
