Portion Control – Episode 26: PaleOMG Uncensored

Today on the podcast, I'm talking about portion control. And when I say portion control, I don't mean limiting your food or restricting your food options. I simply mean taking care of your body, feeding it the food it truly needs, and fueling it on a daily basis. Just a quick recap here of the things that helped me take control of my overeating behaviors:

Facing what was making me unhappy. Once I owned up to what was making me unhappy and why, I was able to get control of my emotional eating since I was trying to fill a void any longer.
Not telling myself I couldn't have something.
Listening to what my body was craving and what it didn't like.
Drinking a SH*T TON of water. I try to drink a gallon or more a day.
Eating on time, meaning not letting myself get ravenous which tends to lead to poor decisions.
Seeing food as fuel.

I think that's about it but I can't remember since I recorded this 20 minutes ago. You'll have to listen for the rest! And if you have any questions, leave them below!
