Nutrition Tip: Portion Control is one of the most important factors in maintaining and achieving a healthy bodyweight. Eat until you are satisfied and not until you are full. Your stomach is made of smooth muscle and when you overeat you stretch your stomach and increase your appetite. Stop eating as soon as you are satisfied, keeping your portions small and then you can eat again in 2 hours.
