Large portion sizes undermine your <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/mindful-eating\/\">weight loss<\/a> efforts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our bodies need food to obtain energy to perform life-supporting functions such as breathing, blood circulation, tissue repair, and growth. But much as it is essential to eat, the amounts we eat are as crucial. Controlling these portions is very challenging.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Individuals tend to eat all the food they serve on their plates. Thus a portion control diet plan female can help forestall overindulging (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/15761167\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). Especially if you are trying to lose weight, portion control should be a priority.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many factors influence how much you eat, including hunger, taste, appetite, availability, cooking skills, time, stress, mood fluctuations, and guilt. Portion control is not about taking tiny portions of all foods. It is about healthy eating and knowing the correct serving per calorie count for various foods and drinks.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Often portion control and serving sizes are used interchangeably, but the two have different meanings. A serving size is the recommended amount of a certain food one should eat. On the other hand, portion size is the total amount of food you eat in one sitting.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><a href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/first-page-generated?flow=2228&amp;utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=Portion_Control_Diet_Plan_Female\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-36173 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/7-1.jpg\" alt=\"What Is Portion Control\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/7-1.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/7-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/7-1.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><\/h2>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Are_The_Health_Benefits_Of_Portion_Control_Diet\"><\/span><strong>What Are The Health Benefits Of Portion Control Diet?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Overeating it, in the long run, leads to being overweight or obese. Carrying too much weight or being obese is associated with increased risk for specific conditions such as heart disease, diabetes type II, osteoarthritis, and certain cancers, including endometrial, ovarian, breast, colorectal, pancreatic, esophageal, and kidney cancer (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC4386197\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">8<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The prevalence of obesity has tripled since the late 20th century, with about 1.9 billion adults over age 18 being obese and half a million of these being obese<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Larger than appropriate portion sizes increase the risk for weight gain (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC4224223\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">11<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, what are the portion control diet health benefits?<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Improved_Digestion\"><\/span><b>Improved Digestion<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Eating large amounts of food puts a strain on your digestive system and triggers GI symptoms such as gas or bloating. Eating fatty, spicy foods and carbonated beverages such as soda produce gas. Eating too fast also causes gas and bloating as large amounts of food enter the stomach too fast (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC2754813\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Eating large portions of food may also cause indigestion and nausea. When you take a large meal and begin to reach the upper limit of your stomach\u2019s capacity, you may experience indigestion or become nauseous. In extreme instances, nausea may trigger vomiting, which is the body\u2019s way of relieving the pressure (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC4699282\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">9<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The digestive system functions properly when you do not overload it with food.

And the more weight you gain, the less sensitive your body becomes to insulin.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Insulin is the hormone that regulates blood sugar. Once the body becomes less sensitive to insulin or develops insulin resistance, it may cause a rise in blood glucose levels (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedaily.com\/releases\/2012\/10\/121017153911.htm\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">10<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).

If you track your calorie intake as part of your <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/weight-loss-programs-for-women\/\">weight loss program<\/a>, you can use your calorie requirements to determine your portion sizes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Portion size is calculated based on the total number of calories you consume in one day. You then prepare your menu by calculating what amounts of a specific food you can eat to stay within that limit. Therefore, portion sizes may vary so long as nutritional needs are met.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A calculator calorie may help you estimate how many calories you need daily. There are several calorie calculators online. Your calorie needs and metabolism are affected by different factors.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Factors that affect your calorie intake (and consequently your portion sizes) include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Height<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Genetics<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hormonal imbalance.

So after finding out what your daily calorie intake should be, here is how to calculate portion size:<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Measure_Food_On_A_Scale\"><\/span><b>Measure Food On A Scale<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The surest way to know how much you eat is by measuring food on a scale. You might be used to eating straight out of the packet, and that way, you consume more than you should.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Measuring cups can help, but the best way to get accurate measures is to use a digital food scale. If you are trying to lose weight and record your calorie intake, measuring your portion sizes is crucial.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Use_Portion_Control_Dishes\"><\/span><b>Use Portion Control Dishes<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Using portion control dishes is another way you can get the right amount of food on your plate. It is a one-time investment that will see you stay on the course of your healthy eating. You may buy portion control dishes, glasses, and serving spoons.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can also use smaller server ware. They make food look more substantial and help influence how much food you serve. Smaller dinnerware unconsciously affects how much food you eat (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/15761167\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).

Eating more of these may help you avoid overeating energy-dense foods.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Use_Your_Hand_To_Measure_Portion_Sizes\"><\/span><b>Use Your Hand To Measure Portion Sizes<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another simple method to determine your portion sizes is to use your hands.

400;\">When eating out at a restaurant or your favorite food place, it is very easy to overeat. Most restaurants serve mega sizes, and because of the tendency to eat everything served on the plate, you end up overeating. Restaurant portion sizes are about 2 to 5 times larger than standard servings (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/12589331\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">7<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This doesn&#8217;t mean that you stop going out to eat altogether. The good news is you can still enjoy a meal out with your friends occasionally and still keep your portion sizes under control. Here&#8217;s how:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Eat only half of what you order. You can ask the waiter to pack the rest to go.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Share the meal with someone else. You can split the main meal and even dessert.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Drink a glass of water before your meal to avoid overeating.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Listen to your body and eat until you are satisfied; you can carry the rest home and eat it later.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Eat more vegetables. Always ask for a serving of greens on the side. Take a healthy appetizer such as soup or salad.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Check the portion sizes of the meals they serve or inquire from the waiter. Go for something close to your fitting portion size. Sometimes a starter is enough for a whole meal.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Remember the 50\/25\/25 rule for every meal (50% veggies and fruits, 25% protein, and 25% carbs) to keep you full and energized.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Avoid buffets or all-you-can-eat offers as it is easy to overindulge.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After eating at a restaurant, keep the rest of the meals for the day as light as possible to avoid exceeding your daily calorie limit.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ask that dressings and sauces be served on the side to control how much of you are consuming.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Dropping pounds by the dozens without putting yourself through the wringer is everyone\u2019s weight loss pipe dream.

You can choose to prepare all your meals over the weekend, pack them and refrigerate them. This way, all you need to do is warm them before eating.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another option would be to prepare your meals daily. You can choose to follow recipes or improvise when preparing your meals.

With apps, you can also keep track of your recipes and save all your food data in one place.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Additionally, apps help put together a customized grocery list based on your recipes.

The trick is to eat snacks in small portions and opt for healthy snacks and not a bag of chips, a bar of chocolate, or a packet of candy. If you allow yourself to get overly hungry in between meals may cause you to overindulge during your next meal, jeopardizing your weight loss efforts.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Snacks help reduce craving, keep you full in between meals and reduce your total calorie intake. A combination of snacks rich in fiber and protein is ideal. You can try nuts, veggies, and hummus or yogurt dips, or roasted chickpeas.

Portion control is not as abstract as it seems, as small steps like using small plates or sharing your food at the restaurant help you control how much food you eat. If you have any questions about portion control, consult your dietitian or nutritionist.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>If you have decided to lose weight as fast as possible, make sure you dive into both dieting and regular workout.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/first-page-generated?flow=2228&amp;utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=Portion_Control_Diet_Plan_Female\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Gif_Blue-1.gif\" alt=\"BetterMe\" width=\"1080\" height=\"1080\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"BetterMe app\" width=\"770\" height=\"433\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/a_J4nIpoGmc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"DISCLAIMER\"><\/span><b>DISCLAIMER:<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This article is intended for general informational purposes only and does not address individual circumstances.
