It’s happened to all of us: you order a dish that seems like way too much food but, by the end of the meal, there isn’t a single bite left. Studies have found that when confronted with bigger portion sizes, people tend to eat more. The best way to combat this is to practice portion control on your own. When making food at home, measure out servings to avoid overfilling your plate. When eating at a restaurant, ask for a box and put half of your meal in it immediately. Then eat only what’s left on your plate. This way, you’ll have control over how much you’re putting into your body. And soon you may find yourself happier with the number on the scale!
