Tips for gauging portion sizes when dining away from home.

Familiarizing yourself with correct portion sizes at home will help you recognize the portion size you’re aiming for when eating out, whether you’re having a take-out lunch at work or dinner in a friend’s home.

Keep in mind that dining out is a challenge that requires a special mindset as well as knowledge of portion size. Sometimes just being in a restaurant or at someone else’s home can promote a “special occasion” feeling that makes it tough to stick to healthy portions. When you’re with a group, it might feel as though everyone else is eating whatever they want; exercising self-control might make you feel left out. But the opposite can be true: You may learn to enjoy your meal more if you know you’re making healthy decisions that will pay off in the long run.

Strategies for portion control
Over time restaurant portion sizes have expanded immensely – often to two or three times what they should be. Friends and family may fill a plate out of generosity. But combined with a “clean-your-plate” mentality, this can spell trouble. These strategies will help you keep control.

Divide your meal in half. As soon as the plate is set in front of you, ask your server to wrap up the other half to take home. Doing this right away helps you avoid the temptation of eating too much just because it’s there.

Consider ordering from the appetizer or kids menu. Portions are almost always smaller. Also, restaurants will often make half portions or lunch-sized portions at dinner time, if asked.

Use your hand to measure the actual amount of food on your plate. Here’s how:

  • Your fist is equal to one medium fruit or one measured cup
  • Your palm minus the fingers is a 3 ounce portion of cooked meat
  • Your thumb (whole thumb, from tip to base) is equal to one ounce of meat or cheese
  • Your thumb from the tip to the first joint is about 1 tablespoon
  • Your index finger from the tip to the first joint is about 1 teaspoon
  • DR. OZ on eating fruit

    Wow. This is truly enlightening.
    I thought it was going to be funny.
    But there are some very interesting healthy facts
    included here.

    Read on.

    EATING FRUIT

    This is informative!

    We all think eating fruit means just buying fruit, cutting it up and popping it into our mouths. It’s not that easy. It’s important to know how and when to eat fruit.

    What’s the correct way to eat fruit?

    IT MEANS NOT EATING FRUIT AFTER A MEAL! FRUIT SHOULD BE EATEN ON AN EMPTY STOMACH.

    Eating fruit like that plays a major role in detoxifying your system, supplying you with a great deal of energy for weight loss and other life activities.

    FRUIT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT FOOD.

    Let’s say you eat two slices of bread, then a slice of fruit. The slice of fruit is ready to go straight through the stomach into the intestines, but it’s prevented from doing so.

    In the meantime, the whole meal rots and ferments, and turns to acid. The minute the fruit comes into contact with the food in the stomach, and digestive juices, the entire mass of food begins to spoil.

    Eat your fruit on an empty stomach, or before your meal! You’ve heard people complain: Every time I eat watermelon I burp, when I eat durian my stomach bloats, when I eat a banana I feel like running to the toilet, etc. This will not happen if you eat the fruit on an empty stomach. Fruit mixes with the putrefying other food and produces gas. Hence, you bloat!

    There’s no such thing as some fruits, like orange and lemon are acidic, because all fruit becomes alkaline in our body, according to Dr. Herbert Shelton who did research on this matter. If you have mastered the correct way of eating fruit, you have the Secret of Beauty, Longevity, Health, Energy, Happiness and normal weight.

    When you need to drink fruit juice drink only fresh fruit juice, NOT the concentrated juice from the cans. Don’t drink juice that has been heated. Don’t eat cooked fruit; you don’t get the nutrients at all. You get only the taste. Cooking destroys all of the vitamins.

    Eating a whole fruit is better than drinking the juice. If you should drink the juice, drink it mouthful by mouthful slowly, because you must let it mix with your saliva before swallowing it. You can go on a 3-day fruit-fast to cleanse your body. Eat fruit and drink fruit juice for just 3 days, and you will be surprised when your friends say how radiant you look!

    KIWI: Tiny but mighty, and a good source of potassium, magnesium, vitamin E and fiber. Its vitamin C content is twice that of an orange!

    AN APPLE a day keeps the doctor away? Although an apple has a low vitamin C content, it has antioxidants and flavonoids which enhances the activity of vitamin C, thereby helping to lower the risk of colon cancer, heart attack and stroke.

    STRAWBERRY: Protective Fruit. Strawberries have the highest total antioxidant power among major fruits and protect the body from cancer-causing, blood vessel-clogging free radicals.

    EATING 2 – 4 ORANGES a day may help keep colds away, lower cholesterol, prevent and dissolve kidney stones, and reduce the risk of colon cancer.

    WATERMELON: Coolest thirst quencher. Composed of 92% water, it is also packed with a giant dose of glutathione, which helps boost our immune system. Also a key source of lycopene, the cancer-fighting oxidant. Also found in watermelon: Vitamin C and Potassium.

    GUAVA & PAPAYA: Top awards for vitamin C. They are the clear winners for their high vitamin C content. Guava is also rich in fiber, which helps prevent constipation. Papaya is rich in carotene, good for your eyes.

    Bollywood dance

    I want a new, relaxing workout, but I’m sick of om-ing and wearing ill-fitting yoga pants. Help me. Skip the mat but keep the bare feet at a Dhoonya Dance BollyBasics class. You’ll learn the fundamentals of pop bhangra and Bollywood dance, and simultaneously get in some heart-pumping cardio.

    But just watching Dancing with the Stars makes me feel awkward. Each class breaks down the choreography of a popular Bollywood routine into simple-to-follow steps, so you don’t need killer dance moves; an appreciation or interest in Indian pop culture is all that’s required. During our session, instructor Sunita Chaphalkar taught us Slumdog Millionaire’s “Jai Ho.”

    How am I gonna pull that off? Like any class, BollyBasics starts with a warm-up. But unlike most, this class will have you learning while stretching: The warm-up mimics the traditional Bollywood moves from the routine you’re about to get schooled on. The majority of the class is spent practicing the dance until you’ve got it down, while Chaphalkar explains the meaning behind the steps. “Jai Ho” is considered a celebration, and just like in a musical, the footwork corresponds to the song lyrics. “Bollywood is very escapist,” Chaphalkar says. “There are bright colors and music in every scene in the movies, and the fusion of dances represents the different parts of India.”

    Break it down: How many calories will I dance off per class? The proof is in the sweat. You’ll burn an average of 350 calories in an hour-long BollyBasics class, which hits all major muscle groups, including quads, arms and shoulders. Plus, when you do hip and knee movements, you’re isolating your abs—think of it as standing crunches.

    I’m ready for my Bollywood premiere. R.S.V.P. at dhoonyadance.com for a BollyBasics class at one of two locations (Dance Theater Workshop, 219 W 19th St between Seventh and Eighth Aves, 347-644-0052 • Chelsea Studios, 151 W 26th St between Sixth and Seventh Aves). Classes meet Tuesdays 8–9pm, Saturdays noon–1pm and Wednesdays 6–7pm. A four-class package is $60; a drop-in class is $20. Hareepa!—Celia Shatzman

    Are cereal bars leaving you uninspired–and tired by 10 a.m.? We asked Mitzi Dulan, registered dietician and co-author of The All-Pro Diet, for quick, healthy breakfast ideas for the entire workweek. Her challenge: Each meal can only take 10 minutes (or less) to prepare and must be packed with enough nutrients to get you through the morning. Here’s what she came up with (blender not included).

    6886

    MONDAY
    Cure your case of the Mondays–and avoid your coworker’s cold–with an immune-boosting smoothie. Simply toss all of the ingredients into a blender, hit the button and then drink your way to a healthy week. Note: If regular milk isn’t your thing, swap for soy milk.

    Healthy food list:
    1/2 banana
    1 cup frozen fruit
    1 scoop whey protein powder
    2 carrots
    Handful of fresh baby spinach
    1 cup 1% organic milk

    Calorie count: 300

    TUESDAY
    Get an early start in warding off heart disease and keeping your cholesterol at a healthy level with a morning dose of fiber. Add a handful of blueberries-a great source of antioxidants-to a small bowl of oatmeal. Boil an egg for a side of protein (feel free to cut out the yolk).

    Healthy food list:
    1 cup oatmeal
    ½ cup blueberries
    1 egg

    Calorie count: 225

    WEDNESDAY
    It’s hump day! Get yourself over the midweek hurdle with an energy-boosting vegetable scramble. This quick meal is about as easy as pouring a box of cereal: Just mix the eggs and milk in a bowl, toss it into a pan coated with walnut oil, add the other ingredients and jumble them all together with a fork until you have a pile of fluffy eggs and veggies.

    Healthy food list:
    1 teaspoon walnut oil
    3 eggs (2 whites and 1 with yolk)
    3 tablespoons 1% organic milk
    1 cup fresh baby spinach
    1 cup chopped bell peppers (any color)

    Calorie count: 270

    THURSDAY
    Keep your digestive system healthy with probiotics–”good” bacteria that protect the intestine and help treat stomach/bowel problems. Another bonus: These live organisms can also prevent yeast infections, making them well worth a slot in your dietary lineup. Tip: Use Greek yogurt for less sugar and twice as much protein as regular brands. Slice a kiwi on top for vitamins A, C and E–not to mention extra flavor.

    Healthy food list:
    5.3 oz Oikos Greek Yogurt
    1 kiwi

    Calorie count: 180

    FRIDAY
    Lunch for breakfast? Well, this certainly isn’t your typical a.m. fare. End the week with a mix of lean protein, fruit and fiber with a lean ham sandwich stuffed with thinly sliced apple. If you feel strange eating ham for breakfast, consider this: A few low-fat slices are a lot healthier than a slab of bacon. This is also a great on-the-go meal, so stash it in your briefcase if you’re running late.

    Healthy food list:
    Oroweat Whole Wheat Sandwich Bread (thin)
    3 slices minimally processed ham
    2 teaspoons light mayo
    1 apple

    Calorie count: 250

    Exercising on your lunch break can be a great energy booster. Get some workout tips that will help you use your time effectively.

    Hit the Gym
    If there’s a gym within five minutes from your office, then consider yourself lucky. With a 60-minute lunch break, all you really need is 30 minutes to get in an effective daily workout. “A lot of people think that they need to spend hours in the gym, sweating their heads off to get a good workout-this is not necessarily the case,” says Declan Condron, certified personal trainer and co-creator of the PumpOne FitnessBuilder iPhone app.

    Have 30 minutes but not sure how to properly use it? Condron suggests doing two back-to-back exercises without resting in between sets. “You could do a dumbbell squat, then go right into doing a dumbbell chest press. This saves time and allows you to get more done in that short period,” he adds.

    Head Outside
    If the gym is too far, you can still get in an effective daily workout by power walking, jogging, or running a few sets of stairs. “Run the stairs for five minutes, then follow that with some body-weight squats, push ups, dips and sit ups. Repeat that three times for a total of 30 minutes,” suggests Condron.

    Keep in mind that if you’re using your lunch break for fitness, you should prepare and bring a healthy meal to work.

    Workplace Workout Tips
    Another idea is to rally a few of your colleagues to chip in for in-office yoga or Pilates. Many instructors will happily instruct a small group in the conference room or another space. You’ll have to check with your company for approval.

    The Cleanup
    You don’t have to return to your desk masking odor with perfume. There are handy products that will help you manage until you get home. Rocket Shower is a body spray cleaner that uses witch hazel and other vitamins to rid you of body odor and bacteria. For your hair, spray a dry shampoo onto the crown of your head and brush it out. It will help absorb the grease and sweat.
