Americans are big people served big portions, and neither is good. With more than 60 percent of adult Americans overweight or obese, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, most people could use some habits to trim down. "Clean your plate" does not apply when the plate is oversize and piled high. Divide your portion in half in a restaurant, and take the extra food home.
Make a list of healthful foods you like, starting with fresh fruits and vegetables, and use that as the basis for your grocery list. Try the "7" trick recommended by the University of Nebraska to avoid running short in the kitchen and grabbing fast-food meals. Shorten the weekly grocery list by buying 7 main meals, 7 servings of low-fat dairy and 7 times the number of fruit and vegetable servings you eat each day. When the fridge is stocked with healthful choices, it's easy to make a habit of eating well.
