Mick & Marlowe's Motivational Monday!

EASY DOES IT! COZ DIETS DON'T!

Because we are all different, our daily energy needs differ — and so should our consumption. We’d be smart to focus less on what we are eating and more on the amount.

Here are six easy tips to help you manage your intake — and, consequently, your weight.

1. In a single meal, never eat a total amount that’s larger than your fist. For now, stop worrying about proteins, carbohydrates, trans fats — counting calories or points — and pay attention to how much you’re eating. (Research indicates that using smaller plates and utensils can make a difference, too.)

2. If you splurge on a special occasion, make that the exception, rather than let it become your daily practice.

3. Eat small amounts frequently and regularly throughout the day instead of starving yourself and then bingeing at lunch (or, even worse, at the end of day).

4. Stop when you first start to feel full. The sensors in your stomach operate on a “delay” and you’re actually full about 10 minutes before you get that satiated (let alone “stuffed”) sensation.

5. Make it a practice to leave a little on the plate, rather than getting seconds or leftovers on a routine basis.

6. Avoid all-you-can-eat restaurants. When you are served a large meal, cut it in half when you start and put the extra in a take-out box so you won’t be tempted to finish it all.

Remember when it comes to your health, eating less is more and simple is best. Easy does it.
