Healthy Portions – the Secret to Weight Loss

Why are portions so important?

For many people with obesity, the problem is not what they eat, but how much. Even healthy foods can lead to weight gain if the portions are too big. Your body needs energy, but every extra calorie is stored as fat.

That's why portion control is one of the most powerful tools for weight loss.

What does a healthy portion look like?

Here's a simple rule of thumb:

• Half of your plate → vegetables (salad, broccoli, peppers, cucumber, tomatoes…).

• One quarter → protein (chicken, fish, eggs, tofu).

• One quarter → healthy carbs (whole grains, rice, potatoes, quinoa).

👉 Tip: Use a smaller plate – your brain thinks you are eating more than you really are.

Smart tips for smaller portions

• Eat slowly so your body has time to signal fullness.

• Drink a glass of water before every meal.

• Never eat straight from the bag (chips, cookies). Serve a portion on a plate.

• Learn the difference between hunger and craving – often we eat out of habit or boredom.
