Watch your portion sizes!

Diet Club

I’m Italian so large meals (and seconds and thirds and sometimes even fourths) are expected of us! All of a sudden I had piled on an extra 15 kilos!

I began to look at the serving sizes on the products I was actually cooking. A packet of pasta serves four… I was using TWO packets to serve two or three people!

Since sticking to the RIGHT portion size I have lost 11 kilos and feel great! I, of course, don’t have other bad things like soft drink and junk food but my loss wouldn’t have been successful if I’d still been eating three times what I was supposed to!
