The no-diet reality guide to eating, cheating, and losing weight permanently.

The Portion Teller Plan is a sensible eating guide and the end of diet deprivation.

No forbidden foods, no calorie counting. Welcome to diet liberation.

Would you ever

consider going to the kitchen in the morning and grabbing five slices of bread for

breakfast? No? Just one bagel is more like it, right? Well, your morning bagel is

equivalent to eating five slices of bread. Your steak at dinner is equal to the protein

in eighteen eggs. And that huge bowl of pasta you had at lunch is anybody's guess.

Nobody likes to cut back but the cold hard facts are in- Portion sizes have steadily

increased over the past thirty years and our collective waistlines are ballooning

right along with them.

You may need to eat a little less if you want to lose weight,

but with The Portion Teller Plan you can eat all of your favorite foods. Nutrition

and portion size expert Dr. Lisa Young presents an individualized guide to eating

according to your portion personality and food preferences. You'll learn a simple

system of visuals-a deck of cards, a baseball, your own hand-to help gauge portion

size. You'll be able to eat out, eat in, cheat, and eat on the road without ever

being a portion victim again.
