The problem with diets, says Lisa Young, is that most tell us either to count calories or eliminate entire food groups. Neither method works. Nobody, including the experts, can accurately discern calorie counts by eyeballing a serving, and it's nearly impossible to avoid carbs or fats indefinitely. The problem lies in how much we eat--it's simply too much. At last, Young provides what we've been looking for: a sustem of convenient, recognizable visuals (a CD case, a deck of cards, a baseball, two fingers) that clearly shows how much to eat of any given food group.



Young provides formuals for different portion personalities--the mindless muncher, the breakfast hater, the volume eater, the special occasion victim--to help readers figure out the right balance of their daily food servings. There are food equations (one bagel=five slices of bread=ten rice cakes), a restaurant guide, and a cheater's guide (so you can have that piece of chocolate at 4 p.m. and still stay on the plan). Line drawings, charts, teh Portion Teller pyramid, and portion diaries all help readers track and chart their own diet courses. With no forbidden foods, no phases to switch in and out of, and no carb or calorie counting, The Portion Teller is a system doeters can really live with.

This is an excellent book for those people who are overweight, aren't sure why, and geninuely want to loose weight.

Lisa Young has done an incredible amount of research and is able to put it in such a way that the layman can understand immediately and utilize to loose weight.

I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to know how to live with food without counting calories.
