Know your portion sizes. Make your own "portion pack" to take with you or keep the following common items in mind when preparing and eating meals.
A golf ball is the size of a serving of nuts (including peanut butter) or cheese.
A deck of playing cards is equivalent to 3 ounces of any meat.
Use a die to estimate a proper serving of oils and fats.
For fruit and veggie servings, use a tennis ball.
One serving of cooked grains or potatoes is about the size of a computer mouse.

I've just been trying to stick to veggies and fruits as much as I can. The ringing in my ears has been increasing so I'm trying to cut back on salt-that's not easy!
Fortunately, the grocery store is offering good specials on fresh fruits like apples and oranges lately. That stops my cravings for sweets.
Moo! The cows are funny!

I've been having a lot of vegan fare lately - it makes me feel better. The tips on portion sizes is real good - I try to keep those in mind at meal times.
Ah - portion sizes - that is the problem for me - indeed.

I hate dieting! There! I said it! Portion control is too darn stressful! Still, thanks for the tips as they really will be helpful when I force myself to measure in my mind! Love the cartoon! Too cute!
