Your Personal Health Coach,

Rugg and Perky

After helping many people as their Health Coach, I have found that the number one way to maintain good portion control is to NEVER skip a meal. When we miss on a meal our decision making ability and discipline is often lost because we are too hungry to think in a sensible manner. Even having a small piece of fruit or a few vegetables with hummus or a lean piece of meat will curb our appetite and keep us in control.
