1. Nutrition experts say portion control is one of the biggest factors in successfully losing weight. Controlling your portions can be very hard to do. The first thing you have to do is decide that you are going to eat only correct portion sizes.

2. EDUCATE YOURSELF ABOUT PORTION SIZE The next step is to simply get on the internet and educate yourself about portion size. WebMd has a great interactive website that will show you the correct portion size for the different foods that you eat. See links below.

3. ASSUME THAT THEY ARE SERVING MORE THAN ONE PORTION Many restaurants serve more food than one person needs at one meal. Take control of the amount of food that ends up on your plate by splitting an entrée with a friend or asking for a take home box.

4. RESIST UP SIZE Many restaurants these days are offering a larger size for only 39 cents more. Tempting I know, but try ordering the smalles portion available.

5. GOOD-BYE BUFFET The ultimate portion killer is the buffets. Pass the buffet for something a little healthier such as Subway or better yet home cooked from your kitchen.

6. PORTION PLATES Nowadays they have these wonderful portion plates. Nutrawize and The Portion Plate sell awesome portion plates that take the guessing out of your food serving size. See links below
