Portion Control: The Importance and Benefits for a Healthy Life

Portion Control: The Importance and Benefits for a Healthy Life

Overeating is a common tendency today. There are a number of reasons why we may eat more then we need. However, doing it regularly may cause serious health issues, from weight gain to diabetes. Thus, portion control should be of top priority when you are looking to lead a healthy lifestyle.

The Benefits of the One Mouthful Bowl

Stops Overeating

You cannot overfill your bowl and its perfectly sized for the size of a relaxed stomach

Mindful Eating

I have designed the bowl to look exactly like a mouth, so it serves a constant reminder of the amount you need to eat in one sitting to be satisfied

Money Saving

It’s obvious that you spend less money when eating smaller portions. In a small serving you will try to include both nutrition and taste, saving money on your grocery shopping. Not to mention how much you’ll save cooking your meals yourself!

Reduction in Binge Eating

Binge eating leads to overeating in most cases. By using the One Mouthful Bowl you make your stomach smaller, which helps you reduce the need for food. This will gradually eliminate your habit of binge eating, if you have it.

Digestion Improvement

Using the One Mouthful Bowl can help you improve your digestive system by not overloading it with lots of food every meal. You will eliminate stomach pain and cramps and decrease weight gain, not only because the portions will become less, but also because your digestive system will function better.

Glucose Level Balance

Regular overeating may cause a serious misbalance in your blood sugar level. The more you eat, the more glucose your body gets. This leads to unhealthy level jumps and eventually, diabetes, hypoglycaemia, etc.

Increasing Your Satiety

Strangely enough, eating less makes you feel full faster. When your stomach shrinks and you make portion control a habit, the feeling of satiety comes quickly after you start eating. Thus, you prevent overheating, keeping your level of calories within the norm.

Weight Loss

When you decide to lose weight, making your portions smaller has to become the first thing you do. A proper amount of healthy food will supply your body with all the essential elements without exceeding your daily requirement of calories. You will not feel hungry and crave junk food if your body is used to a healthy diet and gets enough protein, fats, and carbohydrates.

 

Tips for using the One Mouthful Bowl

Drink a pint of water before you have your meals

You can start with four meals a day and one snack eg fruit or vegetables. Spaced out evenly throughout the day, decreasing to three meals and two snacks your satiety adjusts

Continue to eat your normal diet, use the bowl at every sitting instead of your current plate

If you are currently a member of, or considering using a weight loss group, use the bowl at every mealtime. Meal portion sizes are the essence of losing inches and weight 

Perfect for those that follow an intermittent fasting schedule
