Portion Distortion: What's Making You Fat
Do you have to watch all of your portions?
We're not worried about fruits and vegetables. Bananas and carrots aren't the problem. That's not what caused people to become overweight in America. People didn't get bigger eating fruits and vegetables.
Why is the Portion Teller Plan so effective?
They don't feel deprived. They are allowed to eat all of the foods they want to eat, and it works because it isn't like they need some mystical, magical combination. If you want to lose weight without feeling deprived or like you're on a diet, just trim your portions. Start small. You don't have to do everything at once. Banning food is not practical. Instead of having two cookies, eat one cookie and some berries.
