Mini Challenge Results

Watch your portions

Guidelines
Your portions are the first thing you will want to change, six small meals a day works better than three large ones. The smaller the portions the better, it's much easier for the body to process smaller portion at a time. Only eat when your hungry, choose healthy snacks to munch on between your small meals.
