The Devil Is In The Portion Size



Diets that restrict people from eating certain types of foods are known to lead to quick weight loss, and then quick regain. So, No you don’t have to ban Bread because some guy said bread makes people fat. You don’t have to ban Chocolate, chips or that delicious fried chicken.

If you are looking to lose weight, or maintain a healthy weight, start with your portions. Do you eat half a kilogramme of roasted beef for lunch? Start with cutting that down to a quarter.  You will be amazed by the results of such simple tactics, which I have to add, are much more sustainable that banning meat!


The foods we like the most, salty, sugary, and fatty happen to unfortunately be the most harmful to us. But we like them.  Instead of banning them, which can lead to bingeing later, it is best to eat them in smaller portions.
 Go for a small slice of cake, 2 spoons of ice cream, one small piece of fried chicken, a handful of peanuts, a small glass of soda etc. Remember to accompany this with healthier foods like vegetables, fruits and unprocessed grains.

To top it all, get active; walk 30 minutes a day, take the stairs and you will start to see some difference.

Remember, Food is not the devil, the devil is in the portion sizes!!
