PORTION CONTROL | WEIGHT LOSS | HERBALIFE DIET TIPS
 |  4 Comments

portion control
Most of us were told to clean our plates at every breakfast, lunch and dinner  – because ‘there are hungry children somewhere in the world!’  Allthough this is unfortunately true,  what isn’t true is that you have to keep eating even when you are full, just to empty your plate.

However as adults we do now feel compelled to finish whatever is in front of us.  And it is a hard habit to break.  There are however a few easy tips to help.

-Use smaller plates
Keep them saucer to sideplate size.  In a Cornell University study, people who ate hamburgers from saucers believed they were eating an average of 18% more kj as those who had their hamburgers on normal sized plates.

-Mind the size of your bowls
Those nice little bowls you use for cereal, pastas or other foods?  They are deceivingly deep.  The bigger the bowl, the more food you will probably stuff in there.  Rather use a teacup.

-Use tall glasses
For some reason, we tend to pour more into a low tumbler, than we do into a long glass.  However for your water, take the very biggest glass that you can find.

The Herbalife weight loss eating plan also effectively helps you to control your serving and portion size.  For two meals a day, you enjoy a delicious shake, that is low in calories yet filling enough to satisfy you for a full meal.  We also have a range of supplements and weight loss enhancers that can help to burn extra weight.
