I always think portion control is our avenue of last resort. I'm a South Beacher, but sometimes Life calls for off-plan eating!! When that happens, I just control the heck of our my portions.
Last week, I wanted to thank my handyman for all his hard work around my place before he leaves the area for a couple of months, so I asked if there as anything I could do for him... he asked if I would make him dinner. I said sure, what would he like? He answered that he'd really love pork chops with mashed potatoes and gravy. (!!!) So I made that, added a big salad, steamed some green beans and offered homemade bread.
I took the smallest pork chop, trimmed off all visible fat (about 4 ounces total). Took the tiniest spoonful of mashed potato and topped it with a thimbleful of gravy. Loaded up on the vegetables and salad. Skipped the bread.
He, on the other hand, wolfed down 4 pork chops, ate 2 huge helpings of mashed potatoes and gravy, a respectable amount of veg and half a loaf of bread with butter (he was the one who was out chopping up a couple of cords of wood, not me!)... Everyone's happy!!
I don't see why you couldn't do that with your pork roast, too...? Enjoy!!!
