3. **Control Portion Sizes**
**Portion control** is a key strategy for natural weight loss. By eating smaller portions, you can still enjoy a variety of foods without overeating. It’s not just about what you eat, but also how much.
Why it works:
– Eating larger portions, even of healthy foods, can still lead to excess calorie intake.
– Smaller portions prevent overeating and help you better listen to your body’s hunger and fullness cues.
Tips for portion control:
– Use **smaller plates** and bowls to naturally reduce the amount of food you serve yourself.
– **Eat slowly** to give your brain time to recognize when you’re full.
– Avoid eating directly from large packages—portion out a single serving to avoid overeating.
