Keeping a food diary using MyFitnessPal has helped me reign in portions and make better food choices. I also use a food scale or measuring cup when at home and in doubt about portions. It has helped me loose and keep off 30 pounds without going hungry!

I don’t use portion control, but I do intermittent fasting. I’m using the 16:8 ratio. I lost over 20 pounds this summer. Unfortunately I gained it back when I started back to work (I am a teacher). But I’m back on it with the new year and it is working again.

I have to use a food scale. I would eat 3 servings of peanuts if I didn't weigh it!

Food scale and smaller plate. Works every time.

Drink lots of water!! One ounce to every Kg you weigh daily. Avoid pop.

Eating small portions of protein only 1-2 times a week. I feel satiated, energetic, and yet I only eat about 500 calories total on the days that I do this.

Keeping a diary and writing and logging everything each day keeps me accountable with my intake and calories

Instead of 3 larger meals, each several smaller throughout the day.

Eat slowly and allow your food to settle. You will feel full if you give it a little time which will help you to eat less.
