Weight Loss Tip - Portion Sized Matters

Almost nobody can stop eating at just one normal serving if there's extra food on their plate.  True to this, researchers found that the bigger the portion, the more the people eat. However, it's not increased portion size alone that contributes to excess weight, but also eating large portions of high-calorie, high-fat foods that may lead to obesity.  Eat large portions of foods low in calories and fat such as vegetables, fruits and clear soups as they provide satisfying portions with few calories. Hence watch the amount and the type of food that goes into your plate for maintaining a healthy weight.  Your weight is in your hands!

Practical Weight Loss Tips

Do not eat late at night. Dinner should be light and eaten as early as possible, preferably at least 3 hours before bedtime. You will sleep easier and your body will be re-energising itself rather than digesting a meal.
