Simple Weight Loss – part 2

It’s that easy!!!

Most people, when asked about their food intake, would say, “Well I really don’t eat that much, but I still can’t lose weight. Maybe it’s just my body type.” The fact is, we all have a really skewed idea about how much we really eat, and I daresay this applies straight across the board to both thin as well as fat people. So let’s find out how much we really eat.

We will need to find a way to measure our food intake. How can we do that? Does that mean that you have to carry a scale everywhere you go? That would be kinda hard eh! No, we need something that is portable, and can give us consistent measurements at all times.

Ladies and gentlemen…..I give you….the palm!!!!! (Not the coconut palm …the palm of your hand!!!)

Shocked?! Worried? Have I gone nuts???

Nope. Think about it. Your palm is something that is always with you (I hope ). So all you need to do is to use it the right way when it is time to eat. You see, one of the secrets to simple, effective weight loss is to know how much food you’re eating, so when you dish your food out, quickly compare it with your palm (1 palm full of pasta / rice / pancakes etc). Store that information away somewhere, preferably in a book (you thought you could get away with not doing anything at all eh?!)

The next time you are eating that meal, try to eat a lesser portion, regardless of how much hunger you ‘feel’. That’s all, really!!!
