Control portion sizes

The hand method is used to ensure you're eating healthy portions relative to your body size. Since you base your meal size on the size of your hand, men will likely be eating larger portions than women. While this method is an approximation, it will help keep your portion sizes reasonable. The hand method also serves as a good gauge when you are eating out.

- Eat a salad or variety of veggies the size of both hands put together.
- Eat meats and poultry the size and thickness of the palm of your hand.
- Eat a handful of nuts or seeds per day.
