What is portion control (PC) diet?
A portion control diet is not really diet, it is a lifestyle change as we train our body to eat less from every portion of a balanced diet. According to Lisa Young PhD, RD author of the portion teller plan: The no-diet reality guide to eating, cheating, and losing weight permanently. 'You don't want to feel like you're on a diet, but you have to eat fewer calories.' An average woman needs to eat around 2000 calorie while for a male 2500 calorie a day to maintain their weight but to loose weight around one pound a week a woman needs 1500 calorie while a male needs 2000 calorie. However, it depends upon different factors.
A portion is what one puts on ones plate, while a serving is the exact amount of food and this serving size can help one at practicing portion control. This can be through various ways for example using everyday objects as a measure or simply by using smaller plates and glasses to cut down the amount of food or drink one consumes. One can divide a plate into sections of different food groups or use their hands as different foods corresponds to different shapes and parts of hand. Hence, usage of measuring equipment can help awareness and correct assessment of how much food is eaten. There are different techniques to stick to portion control which will be discussed later for example keeping a track of total calorie intake which can motivate to make healthier choices and reduce the chance of overeating.

ReplyDeleteWell, this is my first time knowing about the PC and it seems interesting.
ReplyDeletePortions in the US are huge! Just bc you are served that much food does not mean you have to eat it, although I sometimes feel bad for wasting it too. I try to order half size meals when eating out to make portions more reasonable.

ReplyDeleteI always try to do portions in any meal. You see me eat an array of foods during breakfast, lunch, and dinner. And small sizes is what I aim for each food group. It is important to eat a balanced and properly sized meal.
ReplyDeleteUnderstand the food groups and portion sizes is important even if you are not trying to lose weight. This is a great post!
ReplyDeleteI can have an endless list of carbs that I enjoy to indulge in. I do practice portion control as well as an 8-9 hr fast twice a week for my weight loss journey !
ReplyDeleteI love that you said it's not a diet but a lifestyle change. We can improve so much with a few lifestyle changes and the commitment to stick with 'em. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI think that portion control is quite hard to do, especially when you are trying to follow the official guidelines. I always find them so small. It's important to replace high calorie foods with low ones that fill you better.
