Master Portion Control for a Balanced Diet

Welcome to Rooted in Health: Quick Fit in 90 Seconds on the NBG Podcast Network. Today's tip is about portion control and how it can support healthy eating. Eating the right portions can prevent overeating and help maintain a balanced diet, which is essential for overall health and well-being.

A good rule of thumb is to fill half your plate with vegetables, one quarter with lean proteins, and the other quarter with whole grains or healthy starches. Incorporating a variety of colorful vegetables not only adds nutrients but also enhances flavor and satisfaction.

Use smaller plates to visually manage portions, which can trick your brain into feeling satisfied with less food. Eating slowly and mindfully can help you avoid going back for unnecessary seconds, giving your brain enough time to register when you're full. Drinking water throughout your meal can also help you feel full without adding extra calories.
