Eating Correct Food Portions Help With Weight Loss/Diet

Monday, August 24, 2009 12:59 1 Comment

When I decided it was time for me lose weight, I started keeping track of everything I ate.  I was very diligent about adding up the calories.  I was so proud of myself for keeping such good track of my food and drink intake. I’d add up my figures at the end of each day and finally have a grand total at the end of the week.  According to my figures, I should have been losing at the minimum two pounds a week.  It wasn’t happening.  It didn’t take me long to get discouraged on my weight loss journey. I figured out why I wasn’t losing two pounds a week.  My calculation of what was a portion size was way off the mark.  I wasmaking good food choices but I was eating more than what the National Institutes of Health described as a portion size.
