Reduce portion sizes. Eat smaller amounts of food to help with
weight loss.
Fill half of your plate with fruits and vegetables. Fill one
quarter with a lean protein, such as chicken or turkey without
the skin or beans. Fill one quarter with a whole grain, such as
brown rice or whole wheat pasta.
Share your main dish when eating out or wrap half of it to go.
Eat a small serving of dessert at the end of a healthy meal, but
not every day. Sweets and desserts have a lot of fat and sugar.
Eat small amounts of heart-healthy fats. Examples include
nuts, seeds, and vegetable oils. For most nuts and seeds without
the shell, a small amount would be 1 ounce or a small handful.
