If you are reading this we already have something in common, trying to figure out the weight loss game. What a curse to go through your entire life trying to lose weight. This blog will tell you what I have done, what I believe and what I am doing to manage my weight. I encourage your questions and comments.

Portion Sizes

Do you really pay attention to how much you eat?
Based on a 2000 calorie diet, you are supposed to get about 8 servings of grain & grain products. I take in about 10 because I won't touch Dairy (see my earlier post to explain why).
A serving size of grain is 1 slice of bread, a half a cup of cooked cereal or rice or pasta.
Take one day and write down every portion of carbs that you eat, include sweets and chips.
We eat way too much!  Remember eating healthy isn't just about cutting calories.  It's about not eating the junk so your body can adjust to the right amount of daily caloric intake.
Keep eating the junk and your body will not allow you to lose weight because you will always crave the junk.  I don't know about you but I don't want any junk in my trunk!
