Dear Nigerians trying to lose weight: the food itself is not the problem; the portion balance is.

This plate of yam appears to contain roughly three to four carbohydrate portions. You do not have to stop eating yam, but for better blood-sugar control, weight loss, or weight maintenance, serve approximately:

🥬 ½ plate vegetables
🍳 ¼ plate protein
🍠 ¼ plate yam or another carbohydrate

Keep plenty of the vegetable sauce and make sure it contains about two to three eggs or another substantial protein source to help keep you full and satisfied.

Eating a nutritious carbohydrate does not mean the portion no longer matters. Regularly eating more energy than your body needs even from “healthy” foods can still contribute to weight gain over time.

This simple plate method can help you manage your portions, stay satisfied, and enjoy the foods you already love while supporting your goals.
