Weight Loss is Easier with Portion Control

By Kristin Johnston

If you have tried many diets but have not had any long term success you are not alone. Many people try different diet or nutrition plans but cannot seem to lose weight or at least keep it off or the long term

Many of these people are committing a crucial mistake that makes it almost impossible for them to be successful. Their mistake is not focusing on portion control. Portion control is the amount of food they are eating.

Everyone understands that eating can lead to weight gain and over eating almost surely will yet most of us do not take the time of effort to ensure that we eat the correct amount. It is important to set daily eating limits and to records daily consumption to ensure those limits are maintained.

It is understandable that many people do not want to take the time or the energy to write down their daily food intake but it can be an incredible important step. It allows you to know exactly how your body reacts to specific foods and meal plans. If you are not already in the habit of making a note of what you eat and when you should start.

People who already set eating limits but not record their consumption think they have done enough. However, these people are often shocked to realize how much they had been eating all along when they begin keeping a food diary.

There are many diets, such as Weight Watchers, that understand the importance of portion control and make it an integral aspect of their programs. These diet systems often have specific calorie guidelines for the foods and meals they permit to help users plan their day.

Many of these plans also require a food journal or diary as a means to track what is being eaten. This step really helps many people lose weight by understanding what they are eating.

Many people who have failed in diets before do not realize how much they were actually consuming while on "diets" in the past until they began keeping accurate and detailed records of their eating.

Maintaining a daily account of meals and snacks is vital for anyone who is trying to lose weight because every individual is different. Every person alive functions slightly differently than everybody else. What works for one person may not necessarily work for someone else. - 17269
