Eat unrefined whole foods as much as possible...Did You Know?
Research show that our food portions at home and restaurants have grown significantly in the past thirty years. With constant food advertising and large portions all around us, it's never been more important to take full control and responsibility in achieving and maintaining a healthy body weight.
Try to start with smaller portion, then take additional food, if required.
Take some time to enjoy your meal and company at the time and pay attention to the taste and texture of your food.
Listen to your body, it will give you signals for hunger and fullness if you listen carefully.
