Portion control is one of the keys to losing weight-what is 1 serving size?



  An important key to losing weight is portion control. Unfortunately, portion control is one of those things that people usually get wrong-me included.

1 Serving portion size we should be eating is:

Pasta, milk, leafy greens-1 cup
Raw fruit, cooked vegetables, Brown Rice-1/2 cup
Lean protein-4 ounces
Nuts-22 or 2 TBSP. of Peanut butter
Cheese-1 oz.
Dark Chocolate-1 ounce

Good to know... I think:) I say that because I realize my portions have been way to big its hard to get excited about eating less:)

***It is suggested to drink a glass of water before a meal, load up on veggies and use smaller dishes:)
