Instead of Calorie Counting and Apps for Weight Loss, Try This...

Something that can stop you from taking action is how complicated losing and shaping can seem...

So many different methods, so little time for you, I completely understand if you are going to invest what little time you have and energy, you want to be sure it works...

Calorie counting sounds simple, burn more than you eat...

However I have spent time properly working it all out on occasions for those that I help and it takes A LOT of time...

Even then there are things to be aware of...

We trust the info written on food labels but it's an average figure not actual, our body's process calories differently as we have different genetics, different amounts of stomach bacteria have an effect, the metabolism goes up and down during different phases of the menstrual cycle...

Wouldn't it be nice if there was an easy to follow non complicated way? 

Well there is!...

And to show you that I want you to get results, keep reading...

Weight loss experts from all walks of life agree with this; portion size is VERY important to getting results...

What if nature has designed a personalised, easy way for you to be able to measure it?...

Well, it has...

They are on the end of your arms!...

Use your hands in the following way...

For protein rich foods (meat, eggs, cottage cheese, natural yogurt for example) have a palm sized amount each meal (2 for men)...

For vegetables (salads, broccoli, spinach, carrots, etc have a fist size portion (2 for men)...

For healthy fat rich products (butters, oils, nut butters, nuts and seeds; have a thumb sized portion (2 for men)...

For higher energy Carbohydrates; grains, starches, beans and fruits a cupped sized handful (2 for men)

And if you find losing very steady going, half the portions of high energy carbs and fat...

It does need to be any more complicated than that...

If you master portion size it will make a huge difference to your losing and shaping, in fact portion size is one of the subjects in my 12 week programme along with 11 other important and similarly easy to apply subjects...

If you understand the principle but know you would need a coach to apply it, then let me know.

You can do this.
