Live Long Naturally

It takes discipline and will power to eat only when hungry and stop when satisfied. Seems like everywhere we turn… people, places, and products are being super sized.

Many people go as far as counting calories or weighing food. I prefer to keep it simple by merely eating healthy most hours of the day and days of the week. I also stop before I am full – that’s it! I don’t own a scale and don’t care to own one. My clothes and mirror let me know when I’ve over done it. For those of you who do prefer to have a visual on portion control, I came across the following on www.womentowomen.com

“You have a great portion control tool right at hand — your own hand!

* Your thumb = 1 oz
* Your palm = 3–4 oz
* Your closed fist = 1 cup
* Your thumb tip = 1 tsp
* A handful = 1–2 oz of snack food, like nuts

Whatever you do… don’t let your vanity lead to insanity. If you look and feel good, WHO CARES WHAT THE SCALE SAYS!
