I believe one of the biggest factors when changing your eating lifestyle is that most people think there is no limit to your protein portion per meal. When I started eating Low Carb Good Fat I hadn’t read up enough and would enjoy a lovely 300gm rump steak or at a barbecue I would enjoy a few pieces of meat weighing a few hundred grams for sure! What I didn’t know, was that I was meant to be eating a medium portion of protein, low carbohydrates and a higher amount of good fat. So the easiest way to determine how much protein to have per meal would be to use the size of the palm of your hand and the depth of your hand as a guide and no more. For me, I have learnt to fill half my plate with green veggies cooked in coconut oil or butter, quarter of my plate with a lovely green based salad or coleslaw and then add my protein. This way I can’t overload with protein and not have space for my green veggies and salad.
 
Another tip which is a biggie!
If you’re going out for a dinner, inevitably you will have a drink before eating. If you drink on an empty stomach, this will put you back a couple of days, even if it’s a glass of champagne or a whisky. So to be able to enjoy your drink, make sure you have a late breakfast, a late small lunch (including a protein portion) that afternoon around 330-430pm and then you’re set to enjoy a drink with your friends in the evening. Try drink sparkling or still water after dinner and then if you’d like another drink, make a wise choice.
