Chocolate Shakeology Recipe: Avocado Dream

By

Researchers have learned that by simply reducing meal portions by 25%, people consumed 10% percent fewer calories—without feeling any hungrier. Makes sense. Have less on your plate and you’ll eat less.

So when you’re deciding on portion size, stop first to think about what looks like a reasonable portion. Then, take at least one-quarter less than that. When you’re finished, wait 5 minutes and then decide if you’re truly hungry or if you can be satisfied by what you ate. And use a smaller plate while you’re at it.

As I reached my mid-40s, a lot of stress, very little exercise, and running too many people to the doctor resulted in lots of fast food. I was feeling tired and run down. Jenny Glenn contacted me about a challenge group and I joined. I took baby steps. Jenny was always there to encourage me and guide me and pick me up when I felt I had failed. I am doing much better. Jenny has continued to always be there for me and encourage me.
