Have A Ball Without Racking Up Calories

We worked on reducing portions last week. But there is an easy way to gauge portion sizes of most of the foods you eat. A single portion of cooked grains, beans, pasta, cereal, cooked vegetables, and raw fruit is the size of a billiard ball. If you stick to a single portion size like that at your meals, you wont be behind the… “weight” ball.

AYCE

The American Institute for Cancer Research found that 67% of Americans eat everything on their plates, regardless of size. So you could use a smaller plate! I know you’ve heard that trick before. But the fact is that by watching portion sizes you can cut the most calories the quickest. That means you literally lose weight by doing nothing more than eating single servings of your favorite foods instead of eating as much as you can.
