Take Action!
Eat Smaller Portions
Eating healthy food is important. But you also need to pay attention to how much food you eat. Here are some tips:
- Eat small, healthy snacks during the day. This will keep you from over-eating at mealtimes.
- Don’t eat out of the bag or package. Instead, put a small amount of food in a bowl.
- Serve food on plates and leave the main dish on the stove. You will be less tempted to go back for seconds.
- If you are eating out, only eat half of your meal. Take the other half home with you.
- Read the label to find out how many servings are in a package. There may be more than one!
- Eat slowly – this will give you time to feel full.
