Your goal should be to create a healthy lifestyle and maintain a healthy weight for you and your family. This can be accomplished with proper portion control.
There are a few things that can help you to be consistent with sticking to the proper portions on a daily basis.

Portion Control Plates and Portion Control Containers



To help you with eating the correct portion size there are wonderful dishes that consist of plates, bowls, glasses and even colorful containers. They are designed with the correct food portion control recommendations for fruit portions, starch portions, vegetable portions, and protein portions. So if your healthy portion sizes is something you need help with on a daily basis, this is the way for you, completely portable to go where you go.
Eating the required amount each day is the key to success if you want your weight loss to be consistent. You should incorporate proteins, carbohydrates, fruits, veggies, fats, and dairy into your diet.
When you are starting to follow a diet plan, do not get too caught-up on the specifics of your diet. Simply start by paying attention to what you are eating. Have a glass of water before your meal, eating slower, and putting the fork down while you are chewing your food. Make healthy food selections like fruits, vegetables, whole grain cereals, beans, low-fat or non-fat dairy products, low fat meats, fish, and skinless poultry.
When eating out always remember one portion serving of red meat is equal to the size of a deck of cards and avoid foods that are high in fats and calories.
