Portion control is vital for weight loss from "summary" of The South Beach Diet Supercharged by Arthur Agatston,M.D.,Joseph Signorile,PhD

You need to control portion sizes to make sure you're not overeating. It's easy to misjudge how much you're eating when you don't pay attention to portion sizes. When you eat more than your body needs, the excess calories get stored as fat. That's why portion control is important for weight loss. Portion control means being mindful of how much you're eating. It's not about depriving yourself, but about eating the right amount for your body's needs. When you eat too much, it can lead to weight gain. By controlling your portions, you can avoid consuming more calories than you need. One way to practice portion control is by using measuring cups or a food scale to measure your food. This can help you see exactly how much you're eating and prevent you from overeating. Another strategy is to use smaller plates and bowls, so you're not tempted to fill them up with more food than you need. It's also important to listen to your body's hunger cues. Pay attention to how you feel before, during, and after meals. By eating slowly and mindfully, you can give your body a chance to signal when it's full, so you can stop eating before you overeat. Portion control is a key component of any weight loss plan. By being aware of how much you're eating and making sure you're not consuming more calories than your body needs, you can achieve your weight loss goals more effectively. So, pay attention to your portion sizes and make sure you're eating the right amount for your body.
