Little changes = big difference

I found that one of the most valuable things my dietician taught me was portion size. When she showed me the little plastic models of food, I was shocked at the size of them. They seemed so small! However, adding veggies, fruits, and all the other 5 food groups to the mix really makes a difference, especially since veggies and fruits serving sizes are quite large! When reading serving sizes on labels, I like to cut the serving size listed in half and eat that much instead of the entire amount.
