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.

I’m new to these weight loss challenges. I am good at starting diets but always lose my motivation. Jenny was great. Always checking in, giving support and posting inspiration. When I struggled she was understanding and encouraged me not to give up even though I did not lose as much weight as I wanted. She is such a great role model – someone who is not only a coach but in the trenches herself fighting to get healthier. I would like to do another challenge with her in the future.
