Body for Life step two

I am still concentrating on body for life in these posts. Now, for the second step. When we are eating we should be getting the right amounts of food. As you are preparing meals or snacks take portion sizes into consideration. For example, the portion size of protein should be about the size of your palm, a portion of a right carbohydrate would be roughly equal to the size of your clenched fist, the amount of a serving of vegetables is approximately what you might imagine you can hold in the cupped palm of your hand. Vegetables can really just depend on your appetite, but you get the point.

Generally, what Bill does, would be to try and "eat a portion of protein and a portion of carbohydrates in each of my daily meals, and in two of these meals, I include a searving of vegetables (my favorites are broccoli, steamed spinach, and zucchini). Sometimes I'll eat a little serving of vegetables, and sometimes a lot, depending on my appetite" As you can see hear we should have some of each of our essential nutrients. Too little of something can be just as bad as too much. You don't need to start counting calories, but be careful. We can tell when we are lacking in one area or gaining too much in another.

Thank you for following and I hope this helps everyone. I will continue with the other steps in my next posts.
