Top tips for portion control

By Rishabh Raj

1

Restricted eating backfires

When you're tempted by delicious food like paneer tikka, go for a smaller portion instead of skipping it entirely. Avoid overly restricting yourself.

2

Use a smaller plate

Use a smaller plate to make your portion look bigger and help prevent you from adding too much on your plate and overeating.

3

Use measuring cups

These cups provide a standardized way of measuring your food portions, taking the guesswork out of the equation.

4

Eat slowly

It requires around 20 minutes for your stomach to tell your brain you are full. Eating slowly helps you recognize this signal and prevents overeating.

5

Avoid eating leftovers

Don't feel obliged to finish everything on your plate. Consider preparing smaller portions or incorporating leftovers into upcoming meals.
