Eating healthy is only part of the weight loss equation -- keeping your portions in check is just as important. Too many whole grains, natural sugars and healthy fats can add extra weight onto your frame just as well as junk food.
Want some easy tricks to keep your portions reasonable? Here are some quick tips from Everyday Health:

• A serving of cereal or grains is the size of your fist.
  
• A serving of pasta, rice or potato is the size of a baseball, so a whole plate of spaghetti is three or four servings.
  
• A serving of fruit should be the size of a fist
• A serving of low far cheese is the size of for dices
• A serving of peanut butter is the size of a ping-pong ball.
  

Another easy tip? Use the smaller plates and bowls -- it's harder to go overboard with them, unless you go back for seconds and thirds.

If you're at all involved in the health and fitness world and follow the news then you're probably confused on an almost daily basis -- I know I am! It seems like everything contradicts everything else, and when it comes to figuring out how much exercise is enough exercise (or how much is too much, for that matter) it's nearly impossible. Check five different sources and you'll get five different answers.

Sadly there is no flat black and white answer that will be best for everybody because we're all so different. What you need to do is ask yourself two things: how much can I exercise every week while keeping consistent? And how much exercise makes you feel the best and gets you the results you want? Seek out help and advice, but ultimately you're the only one who can really determine the perfect amount of exercise for you.
