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. The Portion Plan offers a simple and practical overview of portion control. The book does more than tell readers about the life-extending benefits of portion control, it shows them with dozens of
actual-sized photographs of good and bad portions for the most common foods. Readers can face a world of engorged, oversized portions with assured confidence.

Portion Plan shows you how to lose weight simply by controlling your portion size:

  • Be pate wise: Food used to be served on a 10 inch plate, but plates have grown 2 inches or more. Learn to corral your calories in a 6-inch bowl or 10-inch plate and you'll control your waistline at the same time.
  • Get drink savvy: Save large 12-oz. glasses for water ONLY.
  • Avoid calorie confusion: Learn to make wise food choices and balance your plate with lean protein, whole grains, and vegetables. Learn to differentiate between the good, the bad, and the ugly!
  • 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.
