Eat less and feel great

I read this wonderful article on Divine Carline about portion sizes increasing over the last 20 years and our caloric intake almost doubling. This absolutely rings true for me. I have never been one to struggle with my weight but I have noticed sudden weight gain, as I have gotten older. I just chalk it up to a slowing metabolism. However, when I go out for dinner I find myself eating less and less of the meals I used to eat. I certainly noticed my portion size (in most case’s) is way too much for me. In realizing that, I typically eat half of the meal at dinner and I’ll save some for later or another day or I just wont eat the rest at all.

So far cutting my portions down has helped me lose 3 pounds. I actually feel better, and I have more energy to workout. Hope this helps!
