I think I'm going to put a cup in my purse. Bc i can only eye ball so much b4 i question if its about a cup. Although it takea me an hour to eat a cup of certain things at least i know that I'm eating my cup! Does anyone else do this?

Although some people recommend using a cup it is not essential that you eat that quantity. Most nutritionists and Drs advise you to stop eating after 20min. So if it is taking you an hour to eat then you are probably eating more than you need to.

Like elcee, after 20 min you're done. According to my Dr.

It is accurate, as per research, that those who measure their portions for accuracy are more successful with their weight loss rates. The cup is more accurate than the eye...and historically our "eyes are bigger than our stomachs".

What elcee shared is also accurate; your meal is over after 20 minutes. What is left on your plate after 20 minutes becomes "leftovers".

I like your idea, think I will do the same.

Don't they make collapsible cups now?

I have never heard the 20 min thing. I should ask my dr about that bc i eat so slowly and carefully that it just takes me that long

As others have stated stop at 20 minutes, this is the time you should hit satiety.

I like your measuring cup idea !
