Brilliant Strategies for Healthy Eating
Measuring your foods is the most accurate way to control portions, but you don't need to start toting around a Pyrex in order to lose weight. Instead, try using everyday objects, such as your iPod, a quarter, and a shot glass, to reprogram your understanding of serving sizes and control calories. These innovative portion equivalents from Lisa Young, PhD, RD, adjunct professor of nutrition, food studies, and public health at New York University and author of The Portion Teller, and Toby Smithson, RD, American Dietetic Association spokesperson, will change the way you see food to make eating right a cinch.
