Another Hint - about portions

Check portions. A cup is about the size of your fist. A 1/2 cup fits in your cupped hand. A tablespoon is about the size of your thumb. A teaspoon is the tip of your thumb. Dr. Oz says most people put on weight over the years by eating an extra 100-200 calories per day. Looking on the positive side, you can lose weight gradually over time by eating 100-200 fewer calories per day. This is the equivalent of choosing two less cookies, eating a small potato instead of a large one, walking an extra 30 minutes briskly.
