It’s maddening how we have been lead into obesity by the food industry. I ran across this wonderful information by the New York City Take Care Network. Take the quiz and then be sure to print out this handout on appropriate portion sizes!
Thanks, Lili! The portion size commentary is so true. When I eat at a restaurant and have a salad, I bring all or most of the entree home.
A few months ago you asked me how I lost 20 pounds. I stick mostly to vegan foods and what I think of as “water-based foods” (veggies). I do slip up once or twice a week and eat low-fat cheese and bread, but I weigh myself every day, and when I gain 1-2 pounds, I am careful until I lose 1-2 pounds. I also exercise every day.
Hi Bunny – CONGRATULATIONS! You’ve done a great thing for yourself!
I agree with the daily weighing, it really does keep one on track. I advise clients to weigh twice a day for two reasons. 1st and foremost, to see the number go up and down and to know that we are not A weight, its simply a snapshot, like a financial statement or a bank balance. ANd 2nd, all we are looking at is trend. Trending down? Hooray. Trending up . . .well, best to make some small changes sooner rather than later.
Great to hear from you! Cheers!
