* Note: I am just a consumer that purchased a book with my own money, read it, and thought it was awesome enough to share an opinion about it and follow the advice it gave. I am in no way affiliated with the makers of this book :).
Those of you that follow this blog or my YouTube channel know that I am on this big weight loss journey, and it is just getting started again (does it ever really end??!!). I have stated that I was feeling like a slave to the calorie count, and wanted to try portion control as a method of weight loss. So, for the past week (week 1) I have been cutting my portions down to smaller amounts than I have usually eaten in the past. I was using measuring cups as a means to help me whittle down my portions.I was eating whatever type food I wanted. I was using mostly the 1/2 cup and 1 cup to measure out my food. If I was eating a small item like a mini pack of roasted seaweed or a few pieces of candy, I would not measure it at all. I was eating these small amounts due to various articles and info online that I read about. My week 1 went well, but I still felt that I needed some kind of guideline to tell me when enough food was enough food. Also I still felt a bit lost because I was unsure if my methods were actually going to result in weight loss each week. I was researching online to find ways to help a person that was trying to lose weight and wanted to implement portion control instead of calorie counting. Google can be such a vast mountain of info that leads you through loops and twists until you find some info that you feel pertains to you..lol.I felt like I was searching forever. I felt like I hit the jackpot when I came across a book called The ProportionFit Diet by Nicholas J. Meyer, MD. I read a few reviews, visited the book's website, and was so curious to know more about what information this book had to offer, that I decided that it was totally worth my money to buy it. I could not find it in a bookstore near me, so I just decided to purchase my copy from the Google Play store. I read the entire book today (literally right before I published this post) and I am hooked! I am amazed, and am eager to give this weight loss method a try. I love all that the book has to say. I totally believe that this is not just a fad diet, and is something that is doable for me. Something long lasting. So, starting tomorrow (3/16/16) I will be keeping my portions small by counting cups of food I eat and following the guidelines the book has set. I am also going to still be working towards the fitness goal I already had set (10,000 steps per day via fitness walking). I am excited to continue on this journey and eager to challenge myself more! Visit the ProportionFit website and see if this is a lifestyle that may suit you also!
