Or a small bottle of locally-pressed juice? Or a lunchbox pack of granola bars?<\/h4>\n<h5>Hint: it\u2019s not \u201cone.\u201d Often, the above products contain two or two-and-a-half servings per package.<\/h5>\n<h4>Can YOU Eat Just One?<\/h4>\n<h5>Sure, you could go ahead and enjoy just half the bag, but are you really going to do that?<\/h5>\n<h5>Don\u2019t beat yourself up if the answer is no: If you place food in front of most people, they tend to eat it all. It\u2019s just the way we\u2019re wired.<\/h5>\n<h4><span style=\"color: #bd0155;\">The Perils of Supersizing <\/span><\/h4>\n<h5>Eating too much food in one sitting is hard on your body. Here\u2019s why:<\/h5>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h5>Food is meant to be spread throughout the day. Overdosing on too much food at one time causes pain, upset, and sluggish digestion.<\/h5>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h5>A surge of glucose is released into your blood. Your pancreas has to work overtime, pumping insulin through the body to absorb all that extra glucose. This can make you feel spacey, weak, irritable, or headachy.<\/h5>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h5>Thinking there is some type of emergency, your adrenal glands go into \u201cfight or flight\u201d mode and release adrenaline and cortisol, which is the body\u2019s natural response to stress.<\/h5>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h5>When your blood sugar levels finally plummet, you experience wicked cravings for more food\u2014specifically simple carbs or sweets.<\/h5>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h5>Research has found that immune system function is affected for at least five hours after consuming large amounts of simple carbohydrates.<\/h5>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h5><\/h5>\n<h4>\u00a0<span style=\"color: #bd0155;\">5 Tips to Kick Portion Distortion<\/span><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h5>Don\u2019t over order \u2013 go for salads, soups, and appetizers, which are typically more reasonably sized than entrees.<\/h5>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h5>Choose high-fiber foods like vegetables, fruits, beans, and whole grains to keep you feeling full and energized.<\/h5>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h5>Chew well to aid digestion and give your brain time to register you\u2019re full before you overeat.<\/h5>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h5>Get enough water. Often we mistake thirst for hunger.<\/h5>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h5>Carry your own snacks. Stock up on snack-sized containers and fill them with baby carrots, air-popped popcorn, or nuts.<\/h5>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h5>\u00a0So, how well do you practice portion control?
