remember as do all of us my parents and grandparents telling me that my eyes were bigger than me belly and the all to uncomfortable feeling in my tummy soon after that they were right.
This is a little lose weight tip with a big impact.
Your Stomach is approximately the size of your fist. But look at your plate of food this afternoon or tonight at the dinner table! Its not a set guide but its important to consider the size of the food portion on your plate.
That lunchbox had so much food in that you had to put it in a bag with the extra bits that would not fit in. And because its a lunch box you had to eat it all at lunch in one go!
To start try and limit the food to that which will only fit in the lunch box. I like to use a little lose weight tip and call it a day box or bag. You can still put those extra bits in the bag along with the lunch box but eat them throughout the day and not just at lunch time. Spread your food intake out over the course of the day.
If you starve yourself between meals then your body does not know when it is going to get its next meal and so stores fat.
We all love looking forward to a big dinner, our reward for a hard days work, "I know I do" I would look at my food on my dinner plate and it would be two maybe three fist full's of food. Look at yours! Gradually reduce the size. Everything in weight loss takes time if its going to have a longer lasting affect.
After all we all love food so there is no point in starving yourself to lose weight. Maybe put some of the dinner aside to have as a little snack later.
It is important not to skip meals as this may make you more at risk of snacking on unhealthy foods. Definitely food items that include "go large" or "super size" should be off your radar. Its exactly what you will do GO LARGE and you won't lose weight easy!
