Your measuring utensils are a good tool in losing weight. When I began this quest I finally took a look at what a serving a fruit or veggies is. It’s a 1/2 cup. That is actually pretty small if you measure it out. Therefore it’s not so hard for me to get the 7-8 servings a day. Now I use my measuring cups a lot. The set of them are actually hanging out in the open ready for me to use. I also know the correct serving of oatmeal in the morning: 1/2 cup dry, 1 cup wet. Before I didn’t have as much while now I feel full a lot longer because I’m eating the correct amount. Here’s a link to Canada’s and the US’s Food guide.
