Eat to Stay Full
Think counting calories is how you'll win the battle of the bulge? Think again.
Remember this principle: Eating isn't about calories; it's about satisfaction. The key to the YOU program is to eat nutritionally rich foods, avoid the toxic ones, and use your body's clues to help you stop eating when you should. It's about eating the amount of food that "feels right," so that you can achieve and maintain your ideal playing weight.
More: Because we all have different caloric needs (depending on genes, metabolic rates, activity levels, and other factors), the YOU Diet does not dictate serving sizes. Your goal is to eat an amount that makes you feel satisfied -- that's a level three or four on the fullness test included in last week's tip -- not an amount that makes you feel more bloated than a puffer fish. For some people, portions may be a little larger than a traditional serving size; for others, portions may be a little smaller.
