Eating healthy is not only about food choices but also about portion sizes. Many patients gain weight or face digestive issues due to overeating, even when consuming healthy foods.
Proper portion control helps maintain a healthy weight, improves digestion, and reduces the risk of lifestyle-related diseases such as diabetes and heart conditions.
Listening to hunger cues, eating slowly, and avoiding distractions during meals are simple yet effective ways to control portions.
Doctor’s Tips:
Use smaller plates to manage portions
Eat slowly and mindfully
Avoid late-night heavy meals
Stop eating when comfortably full
