Portion Control Diets

Losing weight can be difficult, but portion control diet plans can help you to cut back on your caloric intake while preventing you from feeling hungry.


If you are desperate to lose weight quickly this type of diet may help you to achieve this and while a good deal of the weight loss initially will be from water, following one of the portion control diets detailed below can result in significant losses in the long term. You will also get in the habit of eating smaller amounts at meals which is always a good weight management technique going forward.


When suffering from being overweight, the signals to eat are usually not triggered by actual hunger, but by psychological factors. If the plates in your house are large and you put a smaller meal on them, you may feel unsatisfied and that you need to eat more. A good trick here is to buy some smaller size plates before staring your diet plan and use these throughout as this can trick you brain into thinking that you are actually eating the same sized portions as normal.


When dining out, also get into the practice of asking the waiter to provide you with half the usual amount so that you can get into good habits away from the home.


Now onto the diet plans...


The 90 10 Weight Loss Plan is a portion control diet that calls for fairly low calorie consumption – only 1200 to 1600 per day. Low fat and high fiber foods are central to this diet, and make up 90% of the foods. However, it does allow for 10% of the foods being ones that you will enjoy eating, giving you a treat to look forward to and helping to cut back on cravings. Online weight loss support is also available for some extra motivation when you need it.


The Volumetrics Weight Control Plan is one of the diets that really work to help you lose weight through portion control. This plan teaches you how to substitute low calorie foods that have a hefty volume to keep you feeling satisfied with your meals. Low density foods can help you when you are desperate to lose weight quickly and fairly easily.


Another diet in this group that may be of value to you is the Change One Eating Plan . Rather than becoming fanatical about calories or specific foods, this plan is based on teaching you how to reduce the size of the portions you eat at every meal. Change One is a 12 week program that can reduce your weight sensibly and safely.


It is quite possible for anyone to start controlling their portions on their own without actually spending money on a diet plan but, if motivation and knowledge is a problem, then there are plenty available that will help guide you to your target weight so be sure to check out the diet reviews below for more information...
