The truth about portion control, as explained by a nutritionist: ‘It is almost impossible’
Check out these healthy tips, which can "help you eat just the right amount of food"
Instead of controlling the portion of your meal, try to eat mindfully. (Photo: Getty/Thinkstock) In our quest to eat healthy, a lot of us practise something called ‘portion control‘, which means eating nutritious meals, but in limited quantities. It is said to be a useful tool to combat overeating while also ensuring the meals are healthy and balanced. The Cambridge dictionary defines portion control as “the process of making sure that the amount of food you eat for each meal is not too large, especially when you are trying to lose weight”.
Many experts have, in the recent past, listed the benefits of portion control, but according to nutritionist Rujuta Diwekar, this practice may not yield results, after all, because portion control was “invented by people just to keep us constantly confused and conflicted about the amount of food that we are eating”.
