Guest guest Posted July 22, 2002 Report Share Posted July 22, 2002 That's simple...buy a food scale, smile. The one I have is a Terrillion...it's round, about eight inches in diameter with a round platform...uses batteries...measures in pounds and ounces but also in grams which is Very Handy. I weigh out everything when I eat at home Much more exact than approximating a portion by palm size, smile. Then it's easy to weigh out portions and be consistent. When you check USDA or Netzer - or even packaged foods - it gives counts in terms of a certain portion size and if you weigh everything out you can be quite precise.Vicki In a message dated 07/22/2002 6:17:25 PM US Mountain Standard Time, pat0829@... writes: > > i think what i need more is someone to show me portions, how to measure > things, etc. stuff that probably seems common sense to lots, but not me. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 22, 2002 Report Share Posted July 22, 2002 Theres been a lot of recent publicity that points out that a lowfat diet doesn't really help people lose weight. Apparently your dietitian didn't read it. Lowfat milk has more carbs than cream too. Oh, well, do it her way but be sure to test a lot and keep good notes. Then you'll know for sure.I'm pretty pessimistic that she'll help you achieve your goal. Did you have a chance to read those AOL comparisons of the various lowcarb diets that were online Sunday before they disappeared?

Guest guest Posted July 22, 2002 Report Share Posted July 22, 2002 i guess what i meant is that i don't know which proportions to eat. the nutritionist said to split my plate in quarters, and have 1/4 meat, 1/4 starch and the other half vegies. so what exchange is that? any way, i will call to make appt. tomorrow, and see what happens. pat > meter > with a round platform...uses batteries...measures in pounds and ounces but > also in grams which is Very Handy.

Guest guest Posted July 22, 2002 Report Share Posted July 22, 2002 i didn't read the whole thing, but it sounded like Dr. Atkins was a good one. i bookmarked them (did the same with the cars) and they seem to work after a long time. pat > > Did you have a chance to read those AOL comparisons of the various lowcarb > diets that were online Sunday before they disappeared?
