Guest guest Posted April 20, 2001 Report Share Posted April 20, 2001 Thats what I'm doing as of yesterday. I took a look into schwans, while it is more expensive to buy meat this way, I think it will be cheaper in the long run. In the past I would cook a whole round steak and plan for it to be for 2 or 3 or 4 meals. HA...I was lucky to get 2 out of it 50% of the time! :-) Schwans has this box of meat called introductry sampler, its pork, chicken, steak and hamburger. I figure I will get 8 portion controled meals out of this. The meat is indivually packaged, so no leftovers for me to eat. So most days when I choose to eat meat at a meal I will get 6 (no more then 8) oz of meat (depending on what kind of meat im eating) in any one meal. Might still sound like a lot to some people, but cuts me way down from my usual 14 or 16 oz. This will not work on Sundays when we go to the Outback though! Hopefully soon I will start getting used to the smaller portions and just cut my steak in half at the Outback and have the rest for lunch the next day. We will see.

Guest guest Posted March 16, 2011 Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 Great post ! Via la tasty foods :-) Katcha IEing since March 2007 > > The obsessing over portion sizes of fruit and vegetables has always seemed ridiculous to me. It seems like most diets (especially those low carb ones) are always demonizing things like the [deliciously tasty] banana and [super sweet] grapes. I just can't believe that eating a whole large banana or a whole bag of grapes could possibly hurt my health regardless of the calories or carbs or whatever nutrient the diet is demonizing at the time. Why would you discourage someone from eating the whole bag of baby carrots or a handful of clementines? For me it always seemed that if I carefully restricted foods that made me feel good, later in the day I would always end up ravenously hungry in a location that had nothing but a vending machine full of chips I didn't want but I would end up buying and eating the chips because they were the only option. > Cheers > ~ > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 16, 2011 Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 I agree! I'm often shocked when people will only buy a " small " banana or stay away from Avocados--all healthy foods straight from the earth! I can't believe that I also used to think that way, but it helps to remind me how much progress I really have made with IE and to really appreciate this journey. How amazing to be so freed from these rules and be appreciating and savoring ALL foods! - Casey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
