Portion Control

Portion Control

In addition to eating healthier, you can still enjoy the foods you like by simply practicing portion control. For some, this requires measuring; for others, it means buying pre-packaged portions. You set a budget for daily intake, and you stick to it.

Portion control teaches you that you don’t need as much as you think to live. Also, eating less can be just as satisfying. Your body, your energy level, and your focus will see improvement.

God asked His followers to eat less as a reminder that they should hunger for Him and His guidance as their portion. He wanted us to remember that it’s He who truly satisfies, who improves spiritual health, who increases spiritual energy, who gives us spiritual focus and purpose.

Make God your portion and the buffets of the world seem no more than a morsel.

The people shall go out and gather a day’s portion every day, that I may test them, whether or not they will walk in My instruction.

—Exodus 16:4 NASB
