ALWAYS STICK

TO THE

SERVING SIZES

RECOMMENDED

on packaging. You may

find they’re much smaller

than you’re used to, but

following this advice will

help you get back in touch

with sensible portion

sizes. Remember, too,

these servings are

designed for people of

a healthy weight. If you

want to lose weight, you

may need less than the

amount recommended.

INDIVIDUALLY

PORTIONED and

wrapped foods can help

with portion control, but

they come with more

packaging and an extra

cost to the environment.

Buying in bulk is a much

better choice for reducing

food packaging. However,

studies show that having

smaller packets to begin

with can help reduce

portion sizes at the
