Mindful Portions Without the Fuss

Quick Tip:

Instead of measuring everything, use visual cues to help you stay tuned in to comfortable portions.

Why It Helps:

Your eyes and stomach stay more connected when you rely on cues rather than rules. And, most people should not be measuring things.

Try This Today:

  • Start with smaller portions and go back for more if you need it.

  • Pause halfway through a meal to check how you feel.

  • Use a plate, not the bag or container. And, sit down!

It takes 20 minutes for your brain to register that you are satisfied, so hold off on the additional servings for a bit.
