The 100-Calorie Secret - Never Diet Again!

No issue is as important in weight loss  as  control of portion size.  One could eat just about any high calorie food if portions could easily be limited.The successful dieter recognizes  that, especially in times of stress, controlling portions of many pleasure producing foods is crucial and will power is almost  never strong enough to limit  these types of foods.

The foods above have  no easy way to control the portions.  Eating a hand full of nuts or a scoop of ice cream can result in disaster for many. High calorie foods with portion control problems include nuts and seeds, chips, cheese, crackers, cookies, cake and ice from large containers.

Weight loss can be much easier when one  gives up the “willpower issue,” and simply chooses foods where  the the container is the whole portion.

A  high protein  bar makes a much better choice than a of a bunch of cookies crackers, nuts or seeds which are eaten from a bag or bottle Here the portion is the  whole protein bar After eating the bar   the snack is finished It takes much more effort to get up and get another bar than to reach your hand  into a bag of cookies or crackers or a jar of nuts for a second  helping. Portion control with a small yogurt, cottage cheese or better yet  low calorie ice cream  bars are far easier  than trying to eat only  a scoop of ice cream out of a   pint, quart or ½ gallon container. Portion control of potentially high calorie snacks  using the container as the portion prevents conscious or even unconscious  over eating.
