First of all, thank you so much for this channel. As a full-blooded American seeing the way you eat and cook really has inspired me to make changes to my own habits. Instead of focusing on large portions of 1 food I’ve been diversifying my meals and having a main protein, always a side salad, and some bread/rice if I need the extra energy. My family normally cooks homemade food, however I always had a problem with eating too fast and too much, then getting hungry very soon after each meal. I now take my time and chew, enjoy all the sensations, and I let my body catch up with my mouth. And second, I’m so jealous because we can’t get raw milk brie, camembert, epoisses, all of the soft cheeses! I’ll have to make a journey to France one day! Thank you!
Hello, ideally, if you pay attention to your sensations and compose your plates with all the essential nutrients, you should feel the signals of hunger and satiety. But it is not always so easy. Also, I would say that for a woman of normal weight and average height, you should take a normal-sized plate (diameter 17 centimeters) and fill it with about 1/3 to 1/2 vegetables, a bit more than 1/3 meat or fish or eggs and 1/4 remaining starchy foods. Otherwise, you can ask a dietitian to calculate your needs, which are very different from one person to another. This calculation is made according to your age, your height, your weight and your activity level. I hope this can help you a bit. Thanks for watching ☺️ have a nice evening ✨
@ Thank you! That is very helpful and I think the issue is I need to eat less starch more vegetables. I am doing a better job than I thought. I also need to have regular meal times. Have a lovely weekend x
Yes starchy foods are mainly for pure energy as they are made of glucose chains and they turn into glucose (so sugar) once in the body. And sometimes we tend to overeat them as they are good and we eat more than our level of activity and our needs for pure energy (aka fat and glucose). And then once in the body, if you can't use them immediately because you ate too much your body store them by turning them into fat and store this fat for later (body fat).

Hello. Thanks for your feedback 😌 have a nice evening ✨
Good to know I avoid most of these errors but I suspect I both under and over eat and have no idea what a correct portion size for myself should be.

And I forgot a piece of cheese of course (around 30 grams) for calcium and proteins! ☺️

@ that is easy (but I probably should weigh 30gms as I suspect my idea of 30gms is much more🙈)
