Everyone suffers from what is called portion creep. Every now and then our portions just start getting bigger. Instead of two pieces of turkey bacon you have three or one cheese stick you have two or you have a cheese stick and a shake or instead of 1/2 cup ricotta you have a whole cup or instead of 5 mini choco chips you have 10. That is why I'm doing Phase I straight out of the book. I realize that the food items have been updated since he wrote the book but I do it for the portion control. I read once that Lance Armstrong (love him or hate him he's a tremendous athlete) weighs and measures everything he eats - where ever he goes. If you managed to check out the grammy's - I think he is weighing and measuring everything Sheryl Crow eats too because she was the thinist I've ever seen her.
Last time I did Phase I straight out of the book I lost 16 pounds. I don't believe that it will happen again but just getting my portions down to where they need to be is a big help.
I'm a little hungry tonight and I've ate everything today except SF jello that I was supposed to. I'm making my quiche cups right now.
Have a good night.
