Think smaller portions.
Think smaller portions. Serving sizes have ballooned recently,
particularly in restaurants. When dining out, choose a starter instead of an
entree, split a dish with a friend, and don't order supersized anything. At
home, use smaller plates, think about serving sizes in realistic terms, and
start small. If you don't feel satisfied at the end of a meal, try adding more
leafy green vegetables or rounding off the meal with fresh fruit. Visual cues
can help with portion sizes–your serving of meat, fish, or chicken should be the
size of a deck of cards, a slice of bread should be the size of a CD case, and
half a cup of mashed potato, rice, or pasta is about the size of a traditional
light bulb.
Jacqueline is a fan of historical dramas as long as they're clean with some crazy plot twists. Often she writes with her darling Nash-cat resting on her arms, which makes for some interesting typing. She's a survivor of narcissistic head games, and adds bits and pieces taken from her experiences to her stories.
