When you want to lose weight, the first step is to calculate the portions to avoid eating more than what our body needs, since part of this excess ends up being stored in the belly and other parts of the body.
The following are XNUMX easy ways to reduce your portions, using to measure your own hands or objects whose size almost all of us know by heart, such as tennis balls and smartphones.
Breakfast cereals: Add a serving no larger than a cup or the size of your closed fist to your breakfast bowl. If you eat denser cereals, such as granola, 3/4 cup is ideal.
Fruits and vegetables: Your salads and fruits shouldn't be much bigger than a tennis ball. When selecting a potato, also use a closed fist.
Meat and fish: You will avoid overeating if you calculate your portions so that the size of the meat equals a deck of cards and the fish that of a smartphone.
Desserts: From time to time, it is advisable to treat yourself to a gift in the form of ice cream. To avoid taking in more calories than you can burn, make sure the ball is about half the size of a tennis ball.
When eating out: Many restaurants serve oversized portions. Calculate how much a serving is and put the rest aside. Before you leave, ask the waiter to prepare it for you to take away. The next day, you will have a meal solved.
