PORTION reduction is of utmost importance for weight loss! Absolutely, have to be SELECTIVE about which items to place into the gut and which not! After 20-30 years of age, when growth is almost nil; after 40-50 years of age, when reproductive activity declines, the body needs just the amount (PORTION) of food for maintenance; any amount in excess will deposit as fat, high cholesterol, high sugar, weight gain etc! Spacing between smaller meals by 2-3 hours can help body to deal first with the previously eaten food! DO NOT FLOOD YOUR BODY WITH FOOD, rather take Nice Deep Breaths and drink water with lemon juice or something! Welcome and Thanks!
