What to put in the Bowl

This is the first month, no one is judging.  Eat what you normally eat but only a portion that would fit in the Bowl.   DON’T OVER COMPLICATE IT.  For your 3 meals think about:

• BE ONE WITH THE BOWL….YOU ARE THE BOWL
• Breakfast – think – portion size of the bowl….don’t select the big breakfast with the works.. really come-on…
• Lunch – think – portion size of the bowl….don’t select the footlong subway..Get the Six inch portion!!! hellooooo!
• Dinner – think – portion size of the bowl…Sure cook the roast meal, have the pizza…just have what will fit in the bowl…that simple.

And think about these tips:

• if it’s easier, and visual isn’t enough, actually use the bowl to serve your meal in.
• sure you can eat the equivalent of KFC takeaway or bag of M&M’s as per the portion size nominated but you are only hurting yourself.
• sing a smaller pan/pot to cook your meal
• eating slower
• drink plenty of water
• consider what liquids you are consuming –
  • softdrink – can you half your intake – get the can size instead of 500ml bottle?  or better yet an alternative like fresh juice or water.
  • if you are used to coffee then have your coffee.  We are only talking about your 3 set meals for the day.
• as per your pledge, be mindful of what your portion contains….takeaway food should not be the norm.
• if you have a snack inbetween main meals have a snack – but really…don’t say I didn’t warn you – choose wisely -eg. handful of nuts, a piece of fruit..bad choices here may hinder your newly forming healthy habits.
• before you go back for seconds…let the meal digest for 15 minutes…give it time…let it do its thing…and if you don’t feel satisfied have a glass of water..
• If you have gorged yourself in a meal, the next day of meals should be super green and small.
• in a month you have 21 meals per week to be good

You know what healthy whole foods look like so start practicing making some good, portioned choices.
