Hello-
Do you know the best way to lose 30 pounds? What I’ve read and learned is that there are methods of losing weight that are sure to lead you to failure and there are ways to lose weight that will ensure that you have a successful diet. Trying to lose too much weight too soon with a diet pill or with most celebrity diets will more than likely lead you to failure and you’ll have wasted your time and money.
One of the best ways I’ve found that will help me and you lose 30 pounds is how much we eat - our portion control. You may have seen the studies that show if we are given a bigger plate to serve ourselves, we will serve a bigger portion to eat and eat more. If we are given a smaller plate, the reverse is true, we will serve ourselves less and eat less.
So how do you practice good portion control?
First of all - start with a smaller plate or bowl. Sometimes, I’m guilty of this and eat with an oversized bowl which can hold 2-3 servings of cereal, ice cream, grapes, oatmeal, etc. Using a smaller bowl will force you to eat less.
As we’ve learned in previous articles, eating just a little less each day will help us lose up to 30 pounds in a year almost effortlessly.
Here’s one tip I’ve found about portion control made easy:
“The Portion Plate – You don’t need to invest in any fancy plate to help you do this, it’s really easy to do anywhere. Mentally divide your plate in half, fill the first half with vegetables then divide the remaining half in half. One half will consist of a portion of carbohydrates such as pasta, rice, and so on and the other half should consist of a protein such as chicken, fish, eggs or beans.
That’s your new portion rule from now on, one quarter protein, one quarter carbohydrates and one half fresh salad or veggies.”
Thinking about it this way doesn’t make it seem so hard. With this new method, you will be getting a balanced diet and you will feel full after you eat. You won’t be starving and you’ll get all the energy you need to carry your through to your next meal where you practice this mental dividing of your plate again.
Doing it this way will allow you more freedom than a strict diet plan such as Adkins, South Beach or any of the other high profile diet plans.
See how you do and start losing those 30 pounds.
