Weeks 1 to 10

Portion control and speed

Guidelines:
the human stomach is the size of your fist so make your portions smaller or use a smaller plate to help. Also eat your food very slowly it fills you faster. Ever notice when your out to eat you feel so stuffed cuz you talk to who youre out with and it slows your eating. Eat to live dont live to eat!
