A question from a reader: What do you do if small portions don’t fill you up?<\/i><\/p>\n

I recommend eating six small meals throughout the day: one serving
\n(USDA Food Guide Pyramid size) of grains, protein (meat or dairy), and
\na fruit or vegetable. This means eating every 3-4 hours. When you do
\nthat, you’re rarely hungry. Be sure to drink a tall glass of water
\nbefore you start every meal. Also, wait 20 minutes after the meal for
\nyour stomach to signal your brain that you’re full. If you are still
\nravenous and must have seconds–have more vegetables or fruit. One more
\ntruth: it takes at least a month for your body and soul to adjust to
\nthis new conscious, healthy eating lifestyle. Don’t forget you are
\nbuilding a new relationship with eating, and your body. So be patient.
\nAnd don’t forget to ask for help. Call a friend who is joining you in
\ndeveloping new, healthy habits. Or call on your Higher Power (God, Nature, Spirit as you feel comfortable).
