Healthy Weight Loss with Food Portions

or Lose Weight and Still Enjoy Your Serve of Tiramisu

I have a good friend Bianca who emigrated from Italy with her family in 1989. We have always been very close and we share the joys and challenges of life, just like sisters. I can’t recall Bianca ever being happier or more healthy than recently after she discovered the way to a healthy weight loss through monitoring her daily food portions.

Neither of Bianca’s parents has ever gained extra weight and they could never fully understand the cause of her weight gain after she left home. They did rightly suspect though, that she had started eating larger portions of her favorite Italian pizza and pasta more often and that these had started to show around her hips and stomach.

Bianca lost a few pounds when she married Joe but in her busy life as a wife, worker and mother she has never been able to successfully manage her body weight with any given diet. She had tried every approach and even every fad diet, cutting out each major food group at some stage. She always concentrated on the type of food she ate (or did not eat) instead of focuisng on healthy weight loss through eating the right amount of healthy food.

Bianca’s decision about how to regain control of her weight came as she was preparing dinner one evening. She was done with diets that saw her shopping and preparing different food. She decided that the food she prepared for her family was nutritious and that she would eat it as they did, but in smaller portions.

She needed to make sure that the food portions she ate included all the nutrients needed in a healthy body. She checked the findings of well known health authorities including The American Diabetes Association, The American Heart Association and The American Medical Association and noticed they all recommended a diet containing food from each of the food groups for healthy weight loss.

And what about the size of her food portions? Bianca’s dinner plates with their design around the lip and the blue circle just inside this provided the very straight forward answer. These plates with their decorative circle regulated her food portions at lunch and dinner and provided the limit of her portion control.

Her husband and sons continued to eat their usual meals to fuel their very active lives and Bianca’s food portions of the same meal always fitted within the blue circle. She made a healthy start to the day with breakfast and snacked on small portions of fruit, nuts and vegetable sticks between meals.

Bianca found that she was able to lose weight consistently over the past twelve months and has never looked healthier or happier. She has taken the reins of her life and has resumed European Eating the way she did at home. Her food portions are smaller, she enjoys the taste of food and the social experience of meal times and she looks forward to an occasional treat.

Bianca is amazed at how this way of losing weight was so painless and successful and she is sure that she will have a much healthier life than if she had remained obese. She says that eating smart through portion control has helped her raech her healthy weight loss goals and that this even allows room for some tiramisu as a special treat. Controlling food portions in her life has given Bianca far more choice in her life and she loves it!
