Healthy goes far beyond reading the label

I eat smart. And while I do have a sweet tooth I make up for it by exercising anytime I eat foods high in calories.   I do make sure to never overdue it and I have some rules for myself.  The opinions in my article are my opinions and while I use facts to stand on, I'm not insisting I know all about the subject or that I am an authority.  I'm just a guy taking care of himself with less than 2 percent body fat.  

YOU must be acutely aware of the size ongoing.  If it takes reinvesting in smaller dinner plates, do it.  Here is one straight from my home, we have a creed, "We are Hindsley's not heathens."  We don't eat out of the bag or box.  This serves two purposes in my home.  It indoctrinates a level of class with my children and it starts them on portion control.  How many times have you eaten your way through a whole bag of chips or some other snack?  What woman doesn't eat straight out of the ice-cream bucket?  Oh!

Do not let someone serve you large portions, your human nature will overdrive your common sense.  You will eat more.  As an aside, eating slower will also give you a feeling of fullness faster. No one will listen to me on this, but in my day I've learned it to be true.
