Need to Lose Weight? Know your Portion Sizes!

For people interested in losing weight, it's important to understand serving sizes. And what better way to get a handle on this than to actually measure your food. Why? Weight loss clients are notorious for underestimating their portions. If you're going to eat more than your nutrition program calls for, do so because you've deliberately planned to, not because you've falsely estimated a portion size.

And don't worry, you won't have to measure your food for the rest of your life. As soon as you've become adept at visualizing portion sizes, you can stop. How will you know when you are ready? Serve yourself food and then measure it before you eat. If you're very close, you're probably ready to stop measuring foods!
