Exercising Portion Control

I was reading Best Health Magazine online today and their web editor, Kat Tancock, made a great point about portion control.  She refers readers to an article in the Globe and Mail that compares portion sizes from cookbooks from the 1930s to their counterparts today.  Interestingly, dinners that used to serve eight now only serve four or six. 

I apologize for the short post, but this article is worth the read.  Post-cleanse, even I’m eating healthy, whole foods, I will still have to work on portion control. Of course, the better the food is in terms of quality or wholeness, fat content, etc, the more liberal I could be with portions. 

Dressing aside, can anyone really over indulge on salad?

Grain of the Week: MILLET is a tiny, round grain that can be white, gray, yellow or red. Like barley, it can be pearled and hulled, but it can also be cracked and this is often how it is found in cereals. Millet is a great source of phosphorous and magnesium. Phosphorus plays a roll in virtually every cell in the body. Phosphorus also helps the body to metabolise fats. A cup of cooked millet provides approximately 24.0% of the daily phosphorus needs. Plain, cooked (boiled) millet can be a bit bland--be sure to season your millet well.
