Portion Control - Just the words sound like a diet, right?  Controlling yourself sometimes feels like the only way to not overeating. Portion control can be useful as a first step, but there's another way to figuring out when to stop eating: Listening to your body's hunger signals. We've moved far away from being able to listen to our bodies these days as we run out the door to work with breakfast in our hand. Many people have forgotten what being hungry feels like. We also eat when we are emotionally distraught to fill a void that has nothing to do with food. Sorting through these different feelings is essential to truly nourishing yourself. We recommend using the Real Life Food Physical Hunger Scale.

Real Life Food portion size recommendations:

Your fist - perfect for meat, fish or poultry portions as well as grains/carbs

Tennis ball - the size of a portion of yogurt, piece of fruit or dessert

Vegetables - eat as many as you like!
