What is a Good Serving/Portion Size?

So, you’re new to IE and have decided to put the work into ditching dieting, putting weight loss on the back burner, focusing on reconnecting with your body’s hunger and fullness cues, eating for satisfaction, working on unconditional permission to eat, and, in essence, focus more on how and why you eat rather than the nuances of what you eat. Awesome! BUT … that can sometimes feel a bit abstract at times. A common issue that comes up is, ok, I want to honor my hunger and feel my fullness without allowing a diet to tell me how much to eat. But, I have no idea how much I should eat. How much should I put on my plate? How much is enough? How much is too much? What about serving sizes on packages? Should I use that as a general guide even though I’m not counting calories anymore? In this episode, I offer some thoughts in response to the common question, "What is a good serving/portion size?"
