How Can You Fight

Portion Distortion?

Eat From MyPyramid

MyPyramid tells us how many servings of each type of food we need every day

http://rds.yahoo.com/_ylt=A0WTefMyXTpL1lkB.1ijzbkF/SIG=12cgqm4bc/EXP=1262202546/**http%3A//uwadmnweb.uwyo.edu/centsible/images/MyPyramid.jpg

Plan Your Meals Around Vegetables

You’ll Eat More Nutrients and Less Fat

Fill Half Your Plate With Vegetables

Let Meats Be the Side Dish

Use Smaller Plates

Your Brain Thinks There is More Food On a Smaller Plate

Eat Slowly

This gives your brain time to say “Whoa, You’re Full!
