The Portion Teller Plan will teach you how to
understand portion sizes so that you can lose weight and stop dieting.
Are you a mindless muncher who snacks all day, a dinner lover who
enjoys one big meal a day, or maybe a volume eater who always wants to
sit down with a huge plate of food at every meal? No matter what your
eating habits, The Portion Teller Plan offers a personalized eating
plan that is right for you.

Instead of giving up the foods you love, learn to
smart-size them. Would you ever consider going to the kitchen in the
morning and grabbing five slices of bread for breakfast? No? Just one
bagel or perhaps a bran muffin is more like it, right? Well, think
again. Your morning bagel or muffin is the same as eating five slices
of bread, maybe more. That’s most of your grain servings for the day.

And, that steak you ate last night? For all the
calories and protein you consumed, you might as well have eaten 18
eggs. More than double the amount of protein you need in a day.

Surprised at just how much you are eating? Dr.
Lisa Young isn’t. She has been studying how Americans eat for more than
a decade, and what she found is astonishing. Portion sizes have subtly
and steadily increased over the past thirty years and are now two to
five times larger than they were in the past. Even the average dinner
plate has grown several inches to accommodate more food. The portions
we’re served are getting bigger and we keep eating. The end result?
That’s right. Americans are getting fatter. Not just the Fat Guy. For
