233. Rethink Portion Control

Not long ago, “portion control” – that dreaded phrase that makes eating feel like a chore – was the go-to advice for folks trying to lose weight. I remember trying every portion control trick in the book: calorie trackers, small plates, dividing restaurant portions, even scooping out bagels. But despite these efforts, I still struggled. The real issue wasn’t about the amount of food on my plate, but the mindset I approached it with.

Many reputable sources still advocate for strict portion control, but this approach often overlooks how we feel in our bodies. Inspired by Tony Robbins’ idea of asking high-quality questions, I began to challenge the notion of controlling portions. Why must we subject ourselves to this endless cycle of restriction? Is there a way to enjoy food without this constant battle with ourselves?

Join me this week to learn how to realign your brain’s desires with your body’s needs. I’ll share strategies to cultivate awareness and satisfaction during meals, helping you enjoy food without overindulging. Discover the power of mindful eating, the importance of nourishing foods, and practical steps to stop when you’re satisfied.
