Nobody needs to be eatin all of that in one sitting hey guys what's up welcome back to
my channel if you guys are new here welcome my name is Caitlyn and in
today's video we are going to be talking all about how to portion control your
food while intermittent fasting and I'm super excited to make this video for you
guys because this what helped me to lose weight so I want to help you guys to
lose weight as well so if that's something that you guys are interested

subscribe button we just reached over 25,000 subscribers so thank you guys so
much for that that really means the world to me and with all that being said
let's get into the video all right you guys so let's just get straight into it
so one of the first things that you can do to help you to portion control your
food is swap out your plate a normal serving size of food is going to look a
lot smaller if it's served on a bigger plate and some of us can have some
anxieties wrapped around our plate if our plate is not completely full it can
really trick our brain into thinking well then we're not gonna be full so
switch your plate to smaller plates because when you have a smaller plate
you're going to be able to fill up that smaller plate with your food and it will
trick your brain into thinking wow I'm having a really big meal this is going
to fill my stomach up and this doesn't only apply for your plates but this also
goes for your bowls as well and even your utensils you know how there's two
different size spoons there's two different size forks start using the
smaller spoons and the smaller forks this is really going to help you to
slow down your eating take more bites chew more really get the digestion going
and help you to eat more mindfully while eating less so it's just all-around a good
thing to do I know it's a small minor change but it really makes a big
difference another thing that you can do it is if you're going to eat at a
restaurant and then only ask for half of your food so whatever you order ask them
can you only bring out half and then have them box up the rest or you can ask
for a box when you sit down and you can do it yourself but only eat half of the
food while you're there because the meal sizes are way too big they're for like
two or three people they're way too large the serving sizes that they give
you are just huge nobody needs to be eatin
all of that in one sitting it's simply unnecessary even with only half
the food on your plate don't feel pressured to finish every single thing
on your plate you can always put that in your to go box but that just makes it
even more exciting because then you can enjoy your favourite meal all over again
on a different day and it helps with the portion control and it helps you to feel
like you're more in control of your food especially when you go out and they're
giving you these huge large servings the third thing that you can do to help you
to portion control your food I cannot stress this enough is don't eat out of
the container especially if you're prone to binge eating seriously like you don't
need to be eating out of the container instead take your portion close up the
container put the container away and out of sight from you and then you can eat
whatever you were gonna eat but it is a lot easier to fall into temptation when
the bag is just laying out the container is just laying out and you're gonna want
more so put it away out of sight out of mind you don't want that temptation
sitting there saying eat me eat me and then you're like oh my gosh why did I do
that to myself so just make it easier for yourself and put it away another
thing that you can do to help is keep yourself in check if you say that you're
only going to eat a certain portion then only eat that certain portion don't
justify and reason with that voice in your head that's telling you to eat more
because you've had a hard day or you're annoyed or you're bored or whatever the
case don't listen to that only have your portion and be good with that the more
that you follow through with what you say you're going to do and actually do
it the more you're learning to trust yourself and then the easier it will
become to start having smaller portions because you'll know okay I'm only gonna
have this portion and it will become a lot easier for you this is not only a
physical thing this is a mental game as well and lastly another thing that you
can do to help you to portion control your food is make sure that you're
drinking enough water I know I say this in every single one of my videos
but it really helps especially before your meal and getting some water in your
stomach before you start eating will help you to feel fuller so have a glass
of water thirty minutes before and then have your meal so you don't over indulge
and you'll feel a lot better and more satisfied and also I just wanted to let
you guys know that this is not something that you guys going to be perfect right
away it's gonna take some time to learn how to do this so don't be so hard on
yourself it's gonna take some time into practice and if you guys have any
