The Portion Plan: How to Eat the Foods You Love and Still Lose Weight

Experts agree: if you want to lose weight and keep it off, forget fad diets - just choose the right portions of the right foods.
Actual, life-size photographs of good and bad portions for the most common foods give a simple, practical view of portion control.
Be plate wise: Food used to be served on a 10-inch plate, but plates have grown to 12 inches. Use a 6-inch bowl and 10-inch plate and you'll control your waistline at the same time.
Get drink savvy: Save large 12-ounce glasses for water ONLY.
Avoid calorie confusion: Balance your plate with lean protein, whole grains, and vegetables.
Eyeball your portions: Learn how to eyeball correct-sized portions of meat & poultry, fish & shellfish, dairy, vegetables, and fruit and you can start to make clever food substitutions to suit your own tastes.
