Portion Control

In our world we've somehow gotten the idea that to be healthy we need to cut certain food items out of our diet completely. This can often lead to binge eating down the road. The healthier way to go about eating smarter would be to have portion control. When we eat a meal our dinner plate should be cut into areas to help us get the appropriate servings. Half of our plate should be vegetables. We need a variety of these each day. The more color the better! :) Oh, and ABSOLUTELY!!!! stay away from iceburg lettuce. It holds no nutritional value at all! One fourth of your plate should be your meat/protein. Another good rule of thumb is to have a peice of meat the size of your palm. The last fourth of your plate goes to your carbs. Then you can have a bowl with your fruit! :) There you go! Lesson number one! :)
