Читать книгу Practical Carbohydrate Counting - Hope S. Warshaw - Страница 28

Educators need to continually reinforce the importance of eating proper portions and using measuring equipment and portion control tools. It is well known that people underestimate the amount of food they eat, whether they record this information or not. It is also easy to see how a person who is making many behavior changes and is eating healthier overall believes that eating larger portions of healthy foods will not make much difference. The reality is that slightly larger portions consumed every day do matter, especially for people who have minimal caloric needs. At the end of any day, extra grams of carbohydrate and calories can be the difference between achieving diabetes and nutrition goals or not.
