SMALL PORTIONS
I am eating only when I get hungry and I eat only enough to satisify my hunger. I do not clean my plate. I eat slow and only half of a regular portion of a meal. It almost always is enoung to satisify me and I stop. I throw the the rest of my plate away. (I am not good at saving it for later. I have to make it disappear).

I could never throw away food!
To cut down portion sizes I got a smaller plate. Now I have less, it feels like I'm eating a lot, I eat slowly, and in all I'm eating less.0 -
If you know you're not going to finish said meal, do not make the meal so that you have to throw away... Gosh I wish I could afford to throw out food... and wipe my tush with dollar notes!0

Yes, I do put less on my plate. . I eat until I am satisified and sometimes when I fix my plate, I am not sure exacally how much that is. So, I have a little left over. I know it is a little wasteful, but I am not talking alot of food. Usually just several bites. You have to do what works. Thanks for the advice.0

or instead of ONLY eating when your hungry eating 6 small meals a day so that your metabolism does not get a chance to slow down it has fuel to burn through out the day....
Just sayin... makes more sense0 -

Hello,
I am new to the MFP groups.
I am learning about portion control, and learning to visualize smaller portions. Learning also to cook much more healthier. I have th luxury of some of the best food farmers markets in the Atlanta area, and love finding new foods or at least new ways to make the same foods I used to eat in a healthier way.
My question here is about drinking water before eating a meal. I feel it helps to get me full before I sit down to eat. Since my water intake has increased susbtantially with the start of my new, doctor monitored diet (Diabetes, 1800cals a day). I believe it works for me. Does drinking water before a meal to aid in filling up a bit dilute the nutrition of a meal? I would think not, but would like to hear from someone about this.
I drink water with fresh squeezed lemon juice. It is so refreshing and tastes SOOOO much better than plain, filtered water. I use a Britta 1/2 gallon water filter and am always filling it up. Water is replacing the numerous diet sodas I habitually drank throughout a normal day.
Any thoughts on drinking water before a meal would be great, thanks.
