Maria, this is an excellent post. I agree with your ideas and I practice them regularly. It is hard at first to practice such a mindful eating lifestyle, but so rewarding once you have it nailed!

Thanks for the great tips Maria. I would like to add one more – stay away from convenience foods – they are loaded with all sorts of mysterious things that pack on the weight.

Great post, Maria! Lots of good suggestions. We never have the food on the table at dinner. It’s usually on the island or still on the stove so you have to get up if you want seconds.

I love those plates, and I’m totally getting some. Portion control is always my biggest problem! I know what to eat and I know in theory how much of it I should be eating, but I don’t want to measure it out, and I just don’t think to hold up a deck of cards to the pan before I sit down to dinner. I love the idea of a quick and cute solution to help me reach my goals. Thanks for sharing the link and the tips!
